CIRCUITS
The ArcaBoard World Championship will consist of 15 races each year, with 10 races in the first season
Circuits
Over the next two years, ArcaSpace and its partners will secure deals with circuits and promoters worldwide to ensure the ArcaBoard World Championship is ready in time for 2028. Demonstration races will be organised in 2026 and 2027.
The ArcaBoard 2 vehicles will compete on dedicated or specially designed temporary urban circuits.
Hosting a race in the championship will bring benefits to the host city, primarily in the form of an economic boost through tourism (hotels, restaurants, and spending), significant global brand exposure, and the opportunity to showcase the city's culture. It will also create jobs in hospitality, security, and logistics, while increasing local interest and growing the sport's fanbase.
The Cosmobase, best known for its rocket launches and rocket engine tests, will host
an ArcaBoard World Championship Grand Prix from the 2028 season onwards.
Nine circuit options are still available for 2028
ArcaSpace is strongly committed to the ArcaBoard World Championship and therefore is going to host an anual circuit at the ArcaSpace Flight Test and Development Centre, better known as the Cosmobase.
The event, the Grand Prix of the Cosmobase, promises exciting racing in a setting filled with aerospace hardware, including space rockets, anti-ballistic interceptors, rocket engine test stands, spacecraft, and aircraft. The narrow circuit will make overtaking difficult, except in a few sections. The race is expected to be mostly decided during the four mandatory and optional pit stops, meaning the pit crews, through the work of the mechanics and strategy teams, will play a decisive role.
While the Cosmobase is locked in the calendar, there are still 9 circuit options available for the 2028 season.
Economic advantages
- Tourism enhancement: It attracts thousands of international visitors who spend heavily on hotels, dining out, transport and entertainment, thereby boosting local businesses.
- Increased spending: Visitors spend significantly more than the average tourist, potentially generating millions for the local economy.
- Revenue generation: Income is generated from ticket sales, corporate hospitality, merchandise and facility rentals, both during the race and year-round.
Brand and marketing exposure
- Global reach: Millions of people around the world will watch, showcasing the host city's landmarks, culture and lifestyle on an international stage.
- Long-term branding: Even if cities don’t make a direct profit, the ArcaBoard World Championship can act as a flashy billboard to the world. One race can make the host city seem more sleek, global and worth visiting. These intangible ROIs are harder to measure, but very real.
- Investment magnet: Enhanced visibility attracts future tourists, businesses and investments, thus strengthening the city's global reputation.
Job creation
- Direct and indirect jobs: Numerous temporary and permanent jobs are created in the hospitality, security, logistics and marketing sectors, among others.
Community and sports development
- Fandom growth: Spurs local interest, which could lead to an increase in viewership and participation in motorsport.
- Infrastructure and spillovers: This can encourage public investment in infrastructure, resulting in long-term positive effects such as higher property values and a broader tax base.

Marshals - eyes and ears of race control
The ArcaBoard World Championship marshals are volunteers who work trackside and wear high-visibility overalls and they are the first responders on-track and act as the eyes and ears of race control.
They are responsible for safety, and communicate with the pilots using flags of various colours, such as yellow, green, blue, red and chequered. They respond to incidents such as fires and vehicle recovery, ensuring that the races run smoothly. They act as the first line of defence for the pilots and provide a vital link to Race Control. They are essential to any race.

Grid Girls - the glamorous brand ambassadors
The ArcaBoard World Championship will see the full return of grid girls, who were a common sight in other motorsports a decade ago.
Grid girls enhance the visual appeal of race day with their confident and striking appearance and charming and outgoing personalities.
They represent the "glitz and glamour" traditionally associated with racing, featuring high energy and a polished look as brand ambassadors.
The ArcaBoard World Championship grid girls will be promotional hostesses at the event, wearing outfits branded with sponsors' logos and holding pilots' numbers and names on luminous boards on the grid. They will also appear at ceremonies to promote sponsors and add glamour. Their duties will include guiding pilots to the podiums, holding umbrellas and making VIP appearances.
Becoming an ArcaBoard World Championship grid girl is an important step in their modelling careers, as the positive attention and appreciation they will receive will enhance their self-confidence. They will also enjoy the thrill and glamour of being part of a major global event, and the exposure could enhance their modelling portfolios and lead to other opportunities.
