Dubai: With Formula 1 excitement building up, the Red Bull Racing Can series is headed for its very own showdown between some of the brightest students from across the UAE.

This weekend, university students will compete in the first-ever Red Bull Racing Can finals, set to take place Saturday on Yasalam along the Abu Dhabi Corniche.

The university racing series allows participants to design their own car using recycled Red Bull cans. Students design aerodynamic features for the body and drive the remote controlled cars.
