igus supports Formula 1 in school teams

 
The school Formula 1 season has started again, and igus is pleased to be able to support many young teams as part of its young engineers support. Formula 1 at school is a project in which teams of students construct a miniature Formula 1 car with an electric drive and compete against other teams. For the wheels, the teams primarily use ball bearings that igus manufactures from high-performance plastics. They are maintenance-free and very smooth-running, making them ideal for race cars.
Formula 1 in schools

Do you need ball bearings for your team, but aren't sure which ones?

We have already supported many teams, so we can recommend the BB-623-B180-10-ES ball bearings (with stainless steel balls) and BB-623-B180-10-GL ball bearings (with glass balls). The GL version is lighter.
 

What do we expect in return for our sponsorship?

  • A post on social media mentioning igus and our sponsorship
  • Our logo on the car
  • Our logo on your booth
  • A short project report about your participation in the competition

Contact:

If you are interested in sponsoring, please contact Julian Peplinski by mail (yes@igus.net). Tell us which ball bearings you need, how many, and where we can send them.
 
We wish you luck in the competition!
