Our vision and wishes
Who is Pole Position Norway
Pole Position Norway is a newly established non-profit organization aiming to provide underprivileged children and youth with real access to motorsport – both as drivers and as part of a team (mechanics, technicians, engineers, and other support roles).
We are starting on a small scale in Norway in the summer of 2025 with training go-karts for children aged 6–10, while simultaneously working to establish a similar initiative in the United Kingdom during 2026.
​
This will give us the opportunity to connect the two communities and create shared development arenas across countries. For British talents, this provides unique access to snow and ice driving in Norway, while Norwegian youth gain access to a larger motorsport environment and technical expertise in the UK.
So far, we have worked with our partner, Bergen Gokart Center, to bring interested children and youth into the program.
​
However, investments have started to come together, allowing us to purchase a training kart for children aged 6–10.
​
We have also acquired a car that we will use in Norwegian Funsport, which allows us to include young people aged 16 and up.
​
Further goals for this year include more go-karts, sim rigs, a crosskart, a Bilcross NextGen car, and a B-Zero rally/track car.
Projects We Are Involved In
Promoting motorsport already in primary school?
We want to contribute to effective learning within schools as well. We hope to become the Norwegian partner for STEM RACING, formerly known as F1 in Schools. This is an international educational competition where students design, develop, and race small race cars made from lightweight materials – usually using 3D modeling and wind tunnel testing. The goal is to engage young people in STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) through hands-on and creative problem solving.
Students work in teams and gain experience in everything from technology and engineering to project management and marketing. The competition develops both technical and social skills and has helped many young people pursue further studies and careers in engineering and motorsport – including in Formula 1.
Purpose
To increase interest in academic subjects for those who may struggle with theoretical learning due to being more practically oriented. Furthermore, to promote collaboration and a sense of teamwork for those who may not be interested in "traditional" sports activities.
Age Groups in STEM Racing
Primary Class (Ages 9–11)
An introduction to STEM Racing for the youngest participants. Here, students learn about teamwork, basic design, and fundamental aerodynamics.
Entry Class (Ages 11–14)
The next step – with slightly more advanced tasks and a greater focus on technical solutions.
Development & Professional Class (Ages 11–19)
For the most dedicated students. This level provides deeper insight into engineering and project management, along with the opportunity to compete at a high level – both nationally and internationally.
International Opportunities
-
Participation in Over 60 Countries
STEM Racing (formerly F1 in Schools) is active in more than 60 countries around the world. -
Global Reach
In 2024, the program engaged over 1.8 million students from around 28,000 schools across 64 countries. -
Annual World Final
Each year, a world final is held where national champion teams from each country compete. The final is usually held alongside a Formula 1 race – for example, the Singapore Grand Prix or the Qatar Grand Prix.
