Our Journey

From unboxing the kit to crossing the start line at our first UK race day - every milestone on our road to competition.

Week 1–2
Induction & Kit Unboxing
We met the team, learnt about the UK trip, tried the driving simulator, then unpacked and checked every part of the kit before starting on the frame.

Week 3–4
Frame Build & Team Identity
The build team worked on the frame and main structure while the designers sketched logos and we voted on our team name: The Racing Hearts!

Week 5–6
Mechanical Build & Logo Finalised
The car took shape as the builders worked through the mechanical checklist, and after a team vote our red and teal logo was finalised.
Complete
Week 7–8
First Drive
The car started to look like a real car, we sourced race gear in our sizes, and Joseph took the Goblin on its very first drive - on Mr Wheeler's birthday!
Complete
Week 9–10
Race Gear, Genesis & Track Day
We tried on our race suits, Genesis filmed the team for their campaign, our stickers went on, and we tested the car at Sydney Motorsport Park with champion driver Josh Buchan.
