THE CAR
KIT CAR BUILD
A Greenpower Kit Car is the perfect introduction to F24 for a team. It will engage students, teach them the principles of building a car and can be built in around 15 hours.
The F24 Kit Car is self-assembly and the kit includes everything you need to get the car up and running, except bodywork. The bodywork is easy to design using a CAD programme.
The Kit Car can be dismantled and rebuilt each year with a new team or some schools like to try and make improvements to the existing car each year. The kit comes with an easy to follow assembly manual. You will only need simple tools to build the car. These are listed in the manual.
If you would like to get a taste ofGreenpower before progressing to building your own car, the Kit Car is for you.
You are always welcome to contact us for advice.

Formula 24 Kit Car
Providing a simple, functional route into Greenpower racing, the kit car features the following:
​
-
Fully welded 2 part steel space frame chassis.
-
Super strong 20” wheels with free running hubs.
-
Accurate Ackermann steering geometry.
-
Twin front disc brakes.
-
Six batteries and motor included.
-
Fully compliant with current Formula 24/24+ specifications.
-
Kit comprises all required mechanical and electrical parts - except bodywork.
-
Quick assembly, taking approximately 15 hours, sees a completed kit build leaving just the time to design and build the bodywork to your own style.
-
The bodywork is easy to design using CAD programmes such as Siemens Solid Edge, available free to secondary schools.
STEM OUTPUTS
Each school will prepare documentation to qualify for other awards, including:​
1. Sustainability: Students describe the sustainable actions they have taken during their Greenpower project, including use of sustainable materials to construct car bodywork, recycled materials for team clothing, sustainable transport to the race venue.
2. Portfolio: Students present the story of their Greenpower build including how they planned the build, team structure, engineering processes and challenges, rationale behind bodywork design.
3. Team Spirit: Teams nominate teachers/students who have made a particular contribution to the project - perhaps by helping other schools, taking on extra tasks, displaying positive attitude when facing challenges.
​
4. Best Presented Team: Teams are awarded based on the presentation of their car and team, to demonstrate their understanding of branding.
