Fastest Car at the 2025 Australian National Finals

Working to represent New Zealand at the 2025 World Finals
Our very first car racing down the track
July 2024
Our First Car
After founding Koru Racing in April 2024, we designed and manufactured our very first car, the Koru Racing Gen 1.
On our very first race it hurled down the track, rapidly disassembling itself – wheels flying everywhere. But we learnt from our mistakes, and our car was all the better for it.

School Competition
After months of hard work, we competed in our school’s 2024 competition against five other New Zealand teams.
Thanks to our fast car (Gen 2), strong documentation, and outstanding trade display, we won the competition, earning our place as New Zealand’s F1® in Schools (now STEM Racing™) Champions.
The Koru Racing Gen 3 car, our latest design

Koru Racing Gen 3
Because of our success in our school competition, we were invited to compete in the 2025 Australian National Finals, representing New Zealand across the ditch.
We were running on a short time frame with only a few months notice, but we rose to the challenge – testing a new car just a few weeks before the competition.
Recieving the Fastest Car award at the Australian National Finals
June 2025
Australian National Finals
A short flight later, we arrived in Melbourne for the 2025 Australian National Finals.
Australia presented a whole new calibre of competition for our team, the only Kiwis at the event. But we were ready to compete – and compete we did, winning the award for the Fastest Car in the competition thanks to our testing, research, and development.
