Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence and Oracle Red Bull Sim Racing have opened the 2026 ‘Future Skills Challenge’, a global online competition that asks gamers and sim racers to test the data-led instincts that advanced manufacturing now runs on. Competitors must race against the clock through 10 questions that test their speed, analysis, strategy and problem-solving under pressure. No engineering qualifications or experience is required. 

Prizes for the winning contestants include a Fanatec sim rig, a trip to the Red Bull Technology Campus and a tour of the Oracle Red Bull Racing factory, as well as a range of merchandise and prizes. Entries are  open worldwide until 21 October 2026. The competition will culminate in The Future Skills Forum at MK-7, an invitation-only summit at the Red Bull Technology Campus in Milton Keynes, UK, on 17 November 2026.
