Who We Are

Built to compete.
Built to grow.

Founded in 2024, Ad Astra is a student-led STEM Racing™ team from Brighton Grammar School in Melbourne. We entered the competition knowing exactly where we wanted to end up: the World Finals. Now, almost two years on, we're here. Again.

We don't just race cars. We design, engineer, market, and manage. Every aspect of this project is driven by curiosity, ambition, and a relentless desire to improve.
