Where Engineering
Meets the Racetrack

STEM Racing Kuwait is the Kuwait chapter of the world's largest STEM motorsport challenge — supported by Formula 1 and delivered locally through SACGC's Excellence Program. Students design, engineer, and race their own scale Formula 1 car, competing for a place on the National Final podium.

Open now for Season 26/27, general registration welcomes students in grades 9 to 11 to join as an Individual, as part of a Team, or through their School — casting a wide net before a shortlist of finalists is invited to interview.

Shortlisted students join the Excellence Program: hands-on training with real manufacturing equipment — CNC machines, 3D printers, and laser cutters — building both a race car and the engineering, teamwork, and enterprise skills behind it.

Teams of five to six students train together under SACGC supervision toward the Season 26/27 National Final, with outstanding teams considered for STEM Racing World Finals preparation.
