We will be racing a 55g model F1 car on the 28th of April in the F1 in Schools national finals however at the regional finals we came across a problem. The car traveled 24 meters in 1.1 seconds but broke on impact with the towel used to stop the car at the end of the race. We need to find a material that will slow our car down after the finish line where it will travel about six meters until we stop it or a material to stop the car with at the end that will cushion the blow and prevent the front wings from breaking
We will be testing many materials so all suggestions are welcome :)
(for the regional finals the whole car was made from balsa wood, for nationals the front and bak wings have been 3-D printed using PLA)
