A team of students from RD Parker, known as the Spirit Wolves, will be representing not only Thompson, but all of Canada at the F1 in Schools U.S. National Championship in Austin, Texas next month.

Ashutosh Agarwal, the Spirit Wolves team manager, spoke to Arctic Radio News and said that there’s more to the F1 in Schools program than just building and racing cars.

In addition to building and racing the car, they also have to promote themselves so they can get sponsors to help through both cash and in-kind donations.

To learn more about the Spirit Wolves and the F1 in Schools program, make sure to listen to Thompson Today on 102.9 CHTM Monday afternoon at 12:40pm and 5:10pm.
