Team Shift, four ninth-grade girls from Cobb County high schools, won the Formula One in Schools National Championship that wrapped up Saturday at Michigan International Speedway. The finish qualifies “Team Shift” to represent the United States at the F1 In Schools World Finals this fall at a country to be announced in the next few weeks.
“This has been an incredible experience for our team. The opportunity to represent the USA at the world level is a dream come true. We have our sponsors, parents and teacher to thank for giving us this amazing opportunity. We are excited to continue to grow as female engineers,” stated Kelly Fitzgerald Team Shift’s team manager.
Team Shift members have competed in F1 in Schools for the past three years and competed at the world level last year in Malaysia in collaboration with a German team. Members
