The document introduces the Invictus team which is comprised of six schoolmates who came together with a shared dream of building a real race car. They hope to gain engineering experience and learn skills through their participation in the F1 in Schools competition. Each member is introduced along with their role on the team, and brief biographies provide more details about their backgrounds and interests related to engineering.

Invictus - 04/2013 2 We all are machine geeks and we love to hear the engines roar. We got together under a same dream: to build a real car and make our ideas turn into action. We are school mates and we all hope to be great engineers in the near future.

More about us ... ? I?m Francisco Afonso. I’ve always loved cars, and coming into the F1 in schools really means a lot to me. In the past I’ve practiced competition swimming, and some of my favorite hobbies are playing virtual games, playing football, and riding bike. Currently I frequent the 10th grade, of sciences and technologies and I’m looking forward to become a mechanic engineer. The F1 in Schools has presented me with a chance of experience the life I want to follow and that is really important to me, I hope to learn a great deal of certain subjects such as dynamics during this competition. ? My name is Fábio and I like to develop software and fix problems, so as I have some knowledge about tecnologies and design so I?m responsable to create the team website?s and also customize the design of the portfolio. I think this project is brilliant because I love Formula 1 and we can learn a lot about how works F1 car?s. ? My name is Gon?alo, I like to play basketball on my free time. I also like to play table tennis and ride a bike. I’m the responsable of the advertisement for the team, and raising funds. I’m really excited on this project, and I hope we succed. ? My name is Rafael. I love cars and I've always been interested in mechanic engineering. Since I was a litle kid I watched a lot of racing events like “formula 1” and “nascar”. The fact that I love cars and races took me to practice atlethics. I joined this project because, like I previous said, I'm a car addicted, and in the future I hope to become a great mechanic engineer in a racing team. Invictus - 04/2013 4

Invictus - 04/2013 6 Here are some logos, while we were trying to make our actual logo. Our main idea as we were drawing our minds, was to include the idea of racing, shield (has it inspire safety – according to the word Invictus which means ‘unconquered’), and also the fact that we are all from the Invictus city, Porto in Portugal.
Invictus - 04/2013 7 We started to draw our ideas as a sort a brainstorming. At the same time we discuss what we thought it will be the best machine. Our car: from scratches ……
History Invictus - 04/2013 8 Imagem The whole concept of the team Invictus came together when one of our team members invited all the other members to join Formula 1 in schools project by creating a team. All of us were extremely excited about the project because we all hope to become great future engineers. Although some of our initial members gave up of the competition on its early face. So, in the end only a few of the original members stayed on the team. At the beginning there were some disagreements about the team name, some of the first names were 'Radioactive Buffalos', 'Line of Insanity' among others. Still, with all that we managed to get through some hard times, by laying plenty of our time on this project, witch is hard because we are students. We all hope to win this competition, but more importantly, to be part of it and learn with others.
Invictus - 04/2013 9 We believe that aerodynamics have become key to success in F1. According to Nasa (nasa.gov): “Aerodynamic is the way air moves around things. The rules of aerodynamics explain how an airplane is able to fly. Anything that moves through air reacts to aerodynamics. A rocket blasting off the launch pad and a kite in the sky reacts to aerodynamics. Aerodynamics even acts on cars, since air flows around cars.”

The Car Invictus - 04/2013 11 As our project was starting we needed to search for pictures to inspire us in the making of the car. We started by old F1 in Schools cars but we wanted to search more and to go beyond those cars. So we searched and studied a lot of real F1 cars, drag racers and even the highest speed record achiever: Thrust SSC. In the end of this process we drew our own cars… and this was the one we chose. In the begining we had a lot of problems with SolidWorks but after a few tutorials we were able to start creating the car. As we were a litle bit lost on the program yet, we downloaded the pre-made version of the race car by SolidWorks itself and after a few analyses and changes we made our first attempt of a car. In this version we only attempted to put the car shorter.
After that we thought that the best idea was to make the car from scratch, so we opened the rules file and we started working. Firstly we made a block corresponding to the wooden block, already with the middle rail and the space for the CO2 bottle. We started modeling and in a few hours we had a very rough shaped car, a lot of pointy edges and unellegant cuts. Finally after a lot of efforts, we were able to create a very beautiful, elegant and car looking piece. For us, achieving this level was already very motivating and made us believe in oursleves even more. Just a few steps for the end we created the spoilers and tested the car in the wind tunnel. At the first attempt we didn’t get very good results thanks to the front spoiler, but after a few changes we got really good results. Invictus - 04/2013 12
For the final touches we fixed a problem with the wheels and prepared the spoiler so the car could be machined. When the car’s body was complete we started to think in the paint job, and in a sea of ideas we decided that the best idea was the simpler, a black background and two orange stripes. This chosen colors were added to the logo too. Aerodinamics: Looking to the finished product we made the car with the less air resistance we could and with some grip to the track.

Invictus - 04/2013 15 Dear Sirs. We are six students from secondary school Joaquim Gomes Ferreira Alves, a science and technology class. We want to present our team - Invictus f1 project, which is being developed by us since January. The work accomplished so far has shown great potential which make us confident about our performance in the national and international competition. F1 in schools is a project that challenges young students to plan and build a car similar to a race car, using a CAD program, SolidWorks. The national winners will participate in a world competition. Our project has the support of Filomena Costa, a teacher and CATIM, an enterprise which gives all sort of explanations, help and resources to get through the process. Your sponsoring is essential for our team and you will have the possibility to see your company name beyond our frontiers, sharing the creativity of young Portuguese talents. You are waiting for your cooperation; Best regards Invictus team We only have two sponsors. However, they help us in anything that they can. Sponsors
