A2RL season 3 heads international
Kinetiz won by nearly 11 seconds after 12 laps of driverless racing cars that reached more than 250 kph, officials said.
- On Saturday, September 5, 2026, the UAE's Kinetiz won the Abu Dhabi Autonomous Racing League's first international race at the Imola Circuit in Italy, finishing nearly 11 seconds ahead of Constructor Racing.
- A2RL moved its third season to the legendary Imola asphalt, marking the series' first international event after two years at the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi, with ASPIRE organizing the series as a public testbed for autonomous technology.
- The 12-lap race featured five autonomous cars exceeding 250kph; a collision between Italian teams PoliMOVE and Unimore Racing ended their participation early, allowing Kinetiz to maintain the lead and secure victory.
- Michael Sonderby, CEO of SteerAI, noted that decision-making remains the biggest challenge for autonomous technology, suggesting racing speeds could eventually enable full autonomy and applications in high-risk industries like energy.
- Lessons from Imola will feed data back into R&D programs in Abu Dhabi, while Raffaele Giammaria, director of operations at ACI Sport, suggested autonomous racing could help train young drivers by analyzing how cars approach corners.
