THE BIGGEST SEASON OF SRL IS COMING — AND YOUR SCHOOL CAN BE PART OF IT
What is SRL?
The Student Racing League (SRL) is a nationwide sim racing competition open to schools, colleges and universities across the UK. Hosted on the latest EA SPORTS F1 game, it challenges students to develop a range of valuable skills – from car setup and consistency to race strategy and performance – as they compete for the top spot. Over 12 weeks, students will submit hotlaps to qualify for races, all leading up to a thrilling live final at the Atlassian Williams HQ.
How to get involved?
Getting involved couldn’t be easier. Schools don’t need any specialist equipment or prior experience – students aged 13+ can take part using standard gaming setups and can even compete from home. Whether you’re a school already running esports activities or completely new to it, the SRL is designed to be accessible, engaging and easy to join, offering every student the chance to represent their school on a national stage.
What’s the prize?
An exclusive experience day at Atlassian Williams Racing HQ, including professional coaching from an F1 Sim Racing driver.
The drivers champion also takes home their own simulator bundle, enabling continued practice and development long after the competition ends.
Why should your school take part?
This is more than just a race. It’s an educational opportunity that connects students directly with elite professionals, exposing them to the technology, strategy, and mindset that drive success at the highest levels of esports and motorsport.
The Student Racing League provides schools with an innovative platform to engage students in STEM, media, and esports education through the exciting world of sim racing. By forming a school esports team, students can explore roles across:
Engineering and technical setup
Race strategy and data analysis
Team management and leadership
Content creation and media literacy
SRL offers more than competition — it’s an opportunity to help students develop real-world skills, collaborate as a team, and gain industry insight into one of the fastest-growing sectors in sport and technology.
