About K-Chow SR Racing - Excellence in Mini Formula One

History

K-Chow SR was founded by a group of passionate students driven by engineering, innovation, and competition. Since the beginning of our journey in STEM Racing, our team has worked tirelessly to design, develop, and refine our miniature Formula 1 car while building a strong team identity. Our efforts paid off during the regional competition, where we proudly finished 2nd out of 7 teams, earning our qualification for the national finals. This achievement marked an important milestone in our history and motivated us to push our project even further.

The French National Finals, which will take place on April 25–26, 2026, will be held at the Cité de l’Automobile – National Museum – Collection Schlumpf, the largest automobile museum in the world, located in Mulhouse. Competing in such an iconic venue is both an honour and a powerful inspiration as we continue our journey in STEM Racing.

STEM Racing (formerly known as F1 in Schools) is an international educational competition that challenges students to become real engineers, designers, and entrepreneurs. Working in teams, participants must design, manufacture, and race a miniature Formula 1 car powered by a CO₂ cartridge on a 20-metre track. Using professional tools such as CAD software, aerodynamic simulations, and CNC manufacturing, teams optimize their cars to achieve the fastest possible performance. However, the competition goes far beyond racing: students are also evaluated on project management, marketing, branding, sponsorship acquisition, and communication. Teams must present their engineering process through a professional portfolio, a verbal presentation to judges, and a pit display showcasing their work. Today, STEM Racing involves thousands of students from more than 60 countries, making it one of the world’s largest STEM education competitions and a unique opportunity for young people to experience real-world engineering and teamwork.

Mission

See mission

The main objective of the STEM Racing competition is to inspire students to explore science, technology, engineering, and mathematics through a real-world engineering challenge. By designing and racing a miniature Formula 1 car, teams must apply theoretical knowledge to practical situations, developing skills in engineering design, aerodynamics, manufacturing, and data analysis. Beyond the technical aspects, the competition also aims to prepare students for professional environments by encouraging teamwork, project management, marketing, and communication. Through this multidisciplinary experience, participants learn how to solve complex problems, innovate under constraints, and present their work to industry professionals. Ultimately, STEM Racing seeks to motivate the next generation of engineers, scientists, and innovators by giving them a hands-on experience of what it means to work on a high-level technological project.
