For the second consecutive year, a team of Australian school students has taken out the F1 in Schools World Championship title.
The Formula 1 sanctioned competition sees students from around the world design, manufacture, test and race compressed air powered balsa wood cars.
Aimed to stimulate interest in engineering and produce future Formula 1 team personnel, the task also sees the students raise their own budgets to compete.
This year's world finals were held in Austin in the lead-up to the weekend's United States Grand Prix.
Made up of six students from Pine Rivers State High School, Queensland and Phoenix P-12 Community College, Ballarat, Victoria, the Australians defeated 36 rival teams from 21 other countries to claim overall honours.
The Australian car was the fastest down the 20 metre course while also impressing in the remaining judging criteria, which included a verbal presentation.
In addition to taking the Bernie Ecclestone World Champions trophy, the winning students also receive Motorsport and Automotive Engineering Scholarships for City University in London.
