The Competition

What is STEM Racing?

STEM Racing is the world's largest STEM competition, challenging students to design, manufacture and race miniature Formula 1 cars powered by compressed CO₂ cartridges.

Teams operate as real motorsport organisations — managing budgets, building brand identities, securing sponsorships, conducting aerodynamic analysis, and presenting their work to panels of industry judges. Engineering, physics, project management, and collaboration — all at once.

Who we are

"A tachyon is a theoretical particle that travels faster than light — a symbol of what lies beyond the known limits. We are a team that refuses to accept boundaries as permanent. Students today. Engineers in mindset. Pioneers in ambition." — Tachyons, Genoa

What about now?

Tested at the highest level.

2026 was our most complete season yet. We won Best Engineered Car at the Regional Finals, finished 2nd at the Semi Finals and reached the National Finals at Mugello, where we placed 7th in Italy and earned the Most Sustainable Team Award.

Competing against the strongest teams in the country showed us precisely where we excel and where we still have room to push further.

Our Philosophy

Details change everything.

We believe greatness lives in the margins — in the decisions others overlook.

Precision

Every decision is intentional. From aerodynamic geometry to branding, we design with purpose and measure everything.

Innovation

We question assumptions and challenge convention. If there's a faster way, we'll find it — through simulation, testing and creative thinking.

Continuous Improvement

Marginal gains compound. Small refinements across every discipline create extraordinary results.
