Our mission statement

Our goal/aim is to deliver a Formula 1 car of a very high standard which matches all of the designated requirements.

To represent our school and Ireland at the world finals of the Formula 1 in schools competition 2013.

Our vision statement

Who are we?

Our name ‘Rapido Y Furioso’ is Spanish for fast and furious. We came up with this name as we wanted something

original and catchy. We tried to find the Irish for fast and furious but it didn’t flow as well as it does in Spanish. We think this name represents our car well as it ties in with what we would like to achieve, i.e a fast car and also it

works well with our colour scheme.

  

“No hay I en Equipo”!

Our Logo and Colour Scheme

We came up with the colours Red, Orange and Black. We chose these colours because we want our car to stand out and we thought these colours go well with our name!

Sponsors

• Our main sponsor is IT Blanchardstown. We are very grateful for their generous sponsorship. The money they have given us has helped us to get our car painted and our uniforms, as well as transport here today. We have advertised their logo on all of our equipment.

• We were also sponsored by a local Car Repair Garage in Celbridge, Colour Crash Car Repair. They offered to paint our car with our chosen colours for free. We are hugely grateful for their help and delighted with the result.

Marketing• We have created a Facebook page and a Twitter account to help

promote the competition and our team. We wanted to use these websites to keep people informed about what was happening with our car. We have also created a blog, posting our latest news and information.

• A few weeks ago a few of the team members visited KFM for an interview. They spoke about the F1 in schools competition and also talked about our team and what we were doing at the time, they also discussed our sponsorship. They had a great time and helped promote the competition to secondary schools in the area.

• We have also gotten an article printed in a local newspaper, The Liffey Champion about the two groups from our school who qualified. It was written by one of our classmates who was interested in the competition and was also doing work experience in the Liffey Champion.
