The Abu Dhabi Autonomous Racing League (A2RL) is back for a second season and promises more cars, more advanced tech, more thrills, more spills, and more… everything. The follow up to 2024’s groundbreaking first season aims to build on what’s come before.
A2RL, for the uninitiated, is a race like no other. The 2025 event will see 11 teams field cars with no drivers around the legendary Yas Marina Circuit. In case ‘autonomous’ wasn’t a big enough clue, you won’t find a human in the cockpit of the series’ EAV-25 Super Formula-derived cars. The teams’ goal is to create a vehicle that can race competitively without a person behind the ‘wheel’, instead relying on sensors, LiDAR, and the sort of tech you might find in a Marvel movie.
