Team Safire Racing, a 5-member team from the German International School in Dubai was named the UAE Senior Champions 2012 at the end of the day-long 4th annual F1 in Schools UAE National Championship at Yas Marina in Abu Dhabi.
Competition was fierce as over 34 senior and intermediate teams went head to head in a bid to secure the title of UAE Champions and along with it, a coveted invitation to the F1 in Schools World Finals.
In addition to the overall champion title, the team, a first year entry into the competition, also won awards for Best Senior Rookie Team, Best Overall Reaction Time and Best Senior Engineered Car.
Sixteen-year-old Chris Land, Head of IT and Communications for Safire Racing said that the team was thrilled to be able to represent the UAE later this year at the F1 in Schools World Finals. “We feel amazing - it just proves that hard work does pay off.”
Forming in early 2011, Safire Racing has had an exciting journey to the podium, a journey that has included securing a major sponsorship with Mercedes Benz Middle East and a meet and greet with Shanghai Grand Prix 2012 winner Nico Rosberg.
