STEM Racing: Revamped F1 in Schools Challenge Explained for IP Math & Physics Students

Q: What does STEM Racing: Revamped F1 in Schools Challenge Explained for IP Math & Physics Students cover?
A: What STEM Racing is, where to find official resources, and how IP Maths & Physics can support students doing the project well.

TL;DR
STEM Racing is a hands-on STEM project where students design, analyse, make, test, race, and manage a team project.
The official site describes the Secondary division structure and provides downloads intended to help teams stay compliant with the competition’s rules and regulations-check the latest official resources before you buy materials or start machining.

2026 Singapore status: The organiser's World Finals 2026 page says that in October more than 500 students aged 13 to 19 travelled to Singapore to compete in the Aramco STEM Racing World Finals 2026, held alongside the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix. That was a world-final event for qualified teams, not an open local registration route for any student. As of 21 October 2026 the organiser's pages checked do not list dates for the 2027 World Finals.

Last reviewed: 21 October 2026. The official 2026 World Finals page and the current Secondary and downloads pages were checked together.
