Innovation in design
Our design work uses CAD to develop the car’s shape and components within the competition’s technical rules. Aerodynamic analysis helps teams investigate performance.
VELOX RACING 2026 / STEM RACING
Engineering ideas, made real. We’re a student racing team at Cheltenham Ladies’ College, bringing design, manufacturing and teamwork to the track.

An earlier Callisto Racing car, part of the journey behind Velox Racing 2026.
We’re secondary school students with a shared interest in engineering, design and motorsport.
Velox Racing 2026 brings performance and creativity into the STEM Racing challenge, formerly known as F1 in Schools. Our aim is to keep improving the car and the work around it, from its engineering to the way we present the team.
About STEM Racing UKOur 2026 team identity. The earlier Callisto Racing name remains in our historical photographs and race diary.
Design, manufacture, marketing and project management all contribute to the car and the work we present.
A shared ambition to develop our engineering skills and explain the thinking behind our work.
02 / OUR MISSION
Our mission is to design, manufacture and race a miniature car in STEM Racing. Powered by a compressed CO₂ cartridge, it sprints along a 20-metre straight track. We bring engineering and visual design together, working towards a car that performs on the track and a clear explanation of the work behind it.
Engineering and enterprise portfolios, the team display and presentations also contribute to assessment. Requirements vary by class and season.

03 / OUR STRATEGY
Design choices. Manufacturing choices.
And the people who connect them.
Our design work uses CAD to develop the car’s shape and components within the competition’s technical rules. Aerodynamic analysis helps teams investigate performance.
Manufacturing brings the CAD design into a physical car. Material choices, dimensions and tolerances need to work together within the technical rules.
We aim to use environmentally considerate materials and reduce waste throughout the process.
Sponsor partnerships and sharing STEM learning help our project reach beyond the team.

05 / RACE DIARY
The team’s STEM Racing journey,
formerly known as F1 in Schools.
UNIVERSITY OF BATH · BATH, UK
From the earlier Callisto Racing team identity: the car, design work and team identity brought together for the competition. The photograph captures the six of us beside our miniature cars and presentation boards.

These Aintree and Mallory Park photographs and videos show a separate Greenpower electric-car activity. They are retained as school motorsport material, rather than evidence of the team’s STEM Racing competition.
AINTREE MOTOR CIRCUIT · LIVERPOOL, UK
School electric-car racing at Aintree. The photograph shows a helmeted driver seated in the CLC car, number 281, ready for the day’s track activity.

MALLORY PARK · LEICESTERSHIRE, UK
A day of electric-car preparation and track activity at Mallory Park. These photographs and clips follow the car from the paddock and pit lane to the circuit.



06 / COMMUNICATION
Keeping each other—and our sponsors—
connected to the project.
Clear communication helps us solve problems together. We share progress, keep documents accessible and make space for regular conversations.

A shared page gives us a place for ideas, progress updates and important documents, so everyone can see how the project is moving forward.
We meet each week to discuss progress and work through difficulties. Meeting face to face also helps us support one another across different parts of the competition.
When a decision cannot wait until our next meeting, we call each other to work through the problem and agree what to do.
07 / SPONSORSHIPS
Our sponsors.
Part of the journey.
Sponsorship helps cover the practical costs of competing: team clothing, transport, entry fees and materials. It gives us more opportunities to develop the project and represent the team together.
Our relationships work both ways. We promote our sponsors through our Instagram and their logos on the car and team clothing.
