The U.S.-U.A.E. Business Council invites you to register for the launch of the Abu Dhabi Autonomous Racing League (A2RL), taking place 27 April, 2024 from 5:00 PM – 10:00 PM GST at the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi. The inaugural race is being organized by Business Council member ASPIRE and takes place during DRIFTx. 
 

A2RL is an annual global racing circuit fixture, offering valuable opportunities for partnership and collaboration across industry and academia. The event spotlights U.A.E. national priority themes like pioneering transport’s future, inspiring next-gen STEM talent, accelerating Abu Dhabi’s knowledge economy, and ensuring a tangible impact beyond the racetrack.

A first-of-its-kind for the region, A2RL integrates artificial intelligence (AI), autonomy, and extreme sports to push the boundaries of future mobility. The event is being spotlighted as the largest autonomous racing league in the world, showcasing autonomous car races, drone races, and dune buggy races.

Participating teams will each have exclusive access to a brand new Dallara Super Formula SF23 car, which has been autonomized specifically for A2RL. The car is manufactured from sustainable bio-composite materials, weighs 690 kgs, and is currently the fastest open-wheel race car in the world after Formula One, reaching maximum speeds of 300 km/h.
