SINGAPORE – Third time’s the charm for a team that included staff and students from Nanyang Technological University (NTU), which won an autonomous car race in Italy on its third attempt despite a more challenging circuit than before.
Team Kinetiz – comprising members from NTU, United Arab Emirates tech firm K2 and autonomous systems specialist Alp Autonomy – beat four other competitors for the Sept 5 victory at the Abu Dhabi Autonomous Racing League (A2RL).
During the inaugural A2RL race in 2024, Team Kinetiz failed to make the final four after placing sixth in a pre-qualifying round.
Teams race identical driverless cars equipped with cameras, lidar (light detection and ranging) sensors, radar and a navigation system.
“We want to translate what we have learnt into broader applications for autonomous systems and robotics for Singapore.”

Pimax Dream Air SLAM Edition is a high-end PCVR headset that targets sim pilots and racing fans who want sharp visuals without a heavy brick strapped to their face.
Pricing, Bundles And Competition Pimax sells the Dream Air across two main bundles.
Several reviews compare Dream Air directly with other premium PCVR headsets.
Use Cases, Limits And Who It Suits The Dream Air SLAM Edition is squarely aimed at PC users who already own a capable machine and want visual clarity above all else.
That makes Dream Air SLAM Edition best suited to enthusiasts who already invest in high-end PCs and are comfortable tweaking graphics options rather than those seeking a simple, console-like experience.Performance demands in complex PCVR titles As a wired PCVR headset, Dream Air also lacks the untethered freedom of standalone devices.

There has been a lot of talk on how the current generation of Formula 1 cars is much easier to drive compared to the previous crop that last raced in 2025.
Formula 1 dropped the ground-effect concept from the 2026 cars, which have much less downforce, but despite that, there is a perception that the current cars are easier to drive.
"The previous ground-effect cars were stiffer, with a rear end that always felt very tense, which made them more difficult to jump into for an FP1 session.
"On the other hand, the 2026 power unit is extremely complex.
The few times I have driven it have been challenging, whereas with the 2025 power unit you selected your strat mode and drove," he explained.
