Worthing High School has been competing in the Greenpower Challenge since 2018, having started with only four students.  Since its inception the team has grown to incorporate students from all years and of both genders.  The team has been responsible for the initial build and then subsequent development of three cars Allen 01, Ras 02 and we are currently looking to develop our third car Icarus and a soapbox racer.

The Greenpower Challenge has allowed our students to develop their problem solving skills, working in a team and delegating to each other in order to race together.  This has been evident in the participation in events at the Goodwood Race Circuit and at the Dunsfold test track, the home for the Top Gear TV programme. 

The club is free and open to all year from 7 to 11.  Past students have gone on to studying mechanics or mechanical engineering, one has even created his own car and racing team.

The Greenpower team meet after school on a Wednesday and are involved in maintaining the existing car and in the design, development and production of a second car.  The team is reliant on sponsorship and as a result would welcome any sponsors who wish to help with the continued development of the Greenpower Challenge in Worthing High school.  Potential sponsors will receive an area on the car to promote their company, as well as being visible on track the school will circulate pictures of their sponsorship via a newsletter to all students and be visible on the school website.  For anyone interested please contact Mr K Rasarathnam or Mrs M Knight and they’ll provide further details.
