Pit-Stop Challenge

Your students will step into the shoes of an F1 pit crew and take on the STEM On Track Pit-Stop Challenge. Working in a team, they’ll race against the clock to change a set of kart wheels — but there’s more to it than speed.

This activity explores the real-world maths behind motorsport strategy, with students investigating how increasing crew size affects overall pit time (hello, inverse proportion!). Fast hands meet sharp minds — can your students’ team top the leaderboard?
