STEM Racing National Finals 2026

It’s back for 2026! The STEM Racing UK National Finals 2026 will see the top teams from across the nation compete for a place on the podium, and a chance to be crowned National Champions. This event is the culmination of an extensive series of regional finals, which take place across England, Scotland and Wales from November 2025 to February 2026. 🏎️
Hosted by F1TV presenter, Tom Deacon, the event is the perfect opportunity to see STEM Racing UK in action and experience the electric atmosphere of STEM Racing’s largest event of the year! The competition will see:
- Racing: Students race their cars down a 20-metre track, competing for the fastest speed.
- Verbal Presentations: Speaking to industry professionals, teams present their work in short sessions.
- Design & Engineering: Judges provide their expert opinion on students’ design and engineering work.
- Project Management: Teams illustrate how they have put project management skills into practice.
- Brand Identity: Students create show-stopping pit displays which are sure to impress.

This awards ceremony is the culmination of all the hard work the teams have invested over the past years – it’s where they are recognised for their outstanding achievements on the track, in their portfolios, presentations, and wider project work.
With each award supported and presented by a STEM Racing partner, this is the moment for teams to shine on stage and celebrate their success. It’s also where we reveal who will be crowned our National Champions, and for secondary students, who will progress to the global stage to compete in the Aramco STEM Racing World Finals 2026.
