The Panthers 4x4 in schools team is a group of 5 dedicated students from the Thomas Hardye School. We have been entering the challenge for a few years now. Last year got through to the National Final at Silverstone where we just missed a chance to go to the Global Final. We still took home 2 awards and a 4th place, but we want better.
​
This year we are coming back, and plan to be the best. We want to be the National champions.
​
Watch out everyone, the Panthers are coming.
The Team
The car we compete with is based on a Vaterra Slickrock. We have kept the axles and gearbox, however everything else is our own custom design, specifically tailored for the competition.
​
Our own chassis ensures we have grip where ever we go. The electronics help keep the car safe and the body ensure we look cool whilst winning.
​
Last year our car won an innovation award as well as being best on track. This year we want to keep both these awards. We have re-designed and improved everything since last year.
Our strong car got even stronger.
