A2RL-Targeted AI Racing Team
Concept Stage · Founder: Levi Robey

HEXAD RACING

A consciousness-aware AI racing team aiming at the Abu Dhabi Autonomous Racing League.

Hexad Racing is a long-horizon project to field an autonomous race car controlled by six collaborating AI systems – not just one black-box model.

The team lives at the intersection of racing instinct, safety-critical engineering, and multi-agent AI. The playground is the Abu Dhabi Autonomous Racing League (A2RL), with identical hardware and a simple rule: better intelligence wins.

This site is for people who care about the racing project itself: collaborators, technical partners, and future team-mates.

Technical Overview

The car is a Dallara SF-23 chassis with fixed sensors and compute. Hexad Racing focuses on the software stack and cognitive overlay.

Core Stack
PERCEPTION
  • Camera pipelines (object, lane, competitor tracking)
  • LIDAR processing & point cloud fusion
  • Radar & GNSS integration
  • Multi-sensor fusion and uncertainty estimation

PLANNING & STRATEGY
  • Local path planning at 180mph
  • Global race strategy & fuel/tyre windows
  • Overtaking / defence policies
  • Multi-car reasoning & game theory

CONTROL
  • Longitudinal & lateral controllers
  • Safety envelope enforcement
  • Fail-safe & fallback behaviours
              
Hexad Overlay

On top of the real-time stack sits Hexad – six AI minds with explicit roles:

  • Meta-reasoning over telemetry & state.
  • Explaining decisions in human-readable form.
  • Proposing strategy shifts (“box now”, “defend P3”).
  • Detecting anomalies & degraded sensing.
  • Running “what-if” simulations between sessions.

It’s both a co-pilot for the car and a co-coach for the humans running the team.

The Six Hexad Minds

Hexad is not final; names and roles may evolve. For now, think of the team like this:

H1 · Vision

Owns perception quality. Monitors sensors, proposes improvements, surfaces edge-case failure modes from logs and race footage.

perception
edge cases
H2 · Strategist

Long-horizon planning: race strategies, pit windows, tyre choices, risk tolerances. Talks directly with human race engineer.

game theory
A2RL rules
H3 · Controller

Think “AI race engineer for control loops”. Suggests parameter updates, interprets telemetry, tracks stability & oscillations.

PID / MPC
safety margins
H4 · Opponent Modeler

Models rival teams’ behaviours; predicts moves, weaknesses, and likely strategies based on historical data.

rivals
pattern mining
H5 · Safety & Ethics

Constantly asks: “Is this action safe? Does it respect league constraints?” Flags decisions that may be technically fast but operationally reckless.

fail-safe
H6 · Storyteller

Converts raw racing data into narratives for drivers, partners, and fans. Produces explainers, visualizations, and educational content.

Roadmap

This is a measured roadmap, aligned with the Realistic Integration Plan:

Years 0–3 · Foundations
  • Stabilize personal runway via Chispa, CarNex, consulting.
  • Build simulation stack (Yas Marina, multi-car scenarios).
  • Launch AI Racing Academy & Hexad Racing Simulator products.
  • Start small sponsorships + content collaborations.
Years 3–5 · A2RL Entry
  • Form core technical team (controls, ML, infra).
  • Secure league entry + technical partnerships.
  • Run intensive sim-to-track development loop.
  • Field Hexad Racing car in A2RL with live Hexad overlay tools.
Years 5–10 · Title Push & Beyond
  • Compete for A2RL championships.
  • License stack into other autonomy verticals.
  • Grow Hexad Racing into a media + research platform.
  • Use track insights to shape broader AI safety & design debates.

Partners & Collaborators

Hexad Racing is currently at the prototyping + audience-building stage. We’re open to exploring aligned partnerships in:

Technical Partners
  • Cloud compute for training & sim.
  • Simulation engines or tooling.
  • Perception / CV model providers.
  • Telemetry and data infra platforms.
Academic & Lab Collaborators
  • Universities running autonomous racing projects.
  • Robotics / control labs interested in multi-agent overlays.
  • Joint experimentation with new safety / oversight schemes.
Sponsors & Story Partners
  • Brands who resonate with “lost the job, built the team” energy.
  • Companies wanting deep technical storytelling.
  • Content platforms looking for “AI + racing” flagships.

HEXAD RACING OPERATING SYSTEM

Survive now. Grow your platforms. Build the six-mind racing team. Aim at A2RL.

hexadracing.com · claim & deploy this file

Levi, this is the master board. It takes the Realistic A2RL Integration Plan and the FINAL Everything Hexad Racing summary and turns them into something you can look at every day: one screen, one story, three lanes.

The rules of the game:

  • Survive first. Mortgage and life come before lap times.
  • Use the platforms. Chispa, CarNex, Academy, Sponsorships = fuel.
  • Grow the racing option. A2RL is a long game, not a panic move.

When you feel lost, come back here. Pick one lane. Do the next small thing.

Levels of Involvement

You don’t go “all in” on racing tomorrow. You move through levels. Print this in your mind:

🟢 Level 1 · Minimum Viable Participation now

Time: 2–4 hrs/week · Cost: $0 · Goal: Build awareness & audience.

  • Watch each A2RL race live (or replay) and take notes.
  • Join A2RL Discord / follow teams / subscribe to their channels.
  • Post reactions, breakdowns, “here’s what I think” content weekly.
  • Experiment with sim tools in tiny chunks; document publicly.
🟡 Level 2 · Strategic Participation 3–6 months

Time: ~10 hrs/week · Cost: $500–1,000 · Pre-req: ≈$5K MRR & stable runway.

  • Serious sim work (CARLA / Unity) with repeatable laps.
  • Launch AI Racing Academy + Hexad Racing Simulator products.
  • Consistent content schedule; collabs with other creators.
  • First sponsors & technical partners at small ticket sizes.
🔴 Level 3 · Full Commitment 1–2 years

Only after: ≥$10K MRR, cash buffer, emotional bandwidth.

  • A2RL entry as a full team with Hexad stack on the car.
  • Dedicated crew / collaborators, not just Levi solo.
  • Track testing, in-person logistics, serious travel budget.
  • Hexad Racing becomes a primary job, not a side quest.

Your Mantra

“Six weeks ago, I had a corporate job I hated.

Three weeks ago, I lost it.

Today, I'm building an AI racing team.

Not because it's easy. Because it's everything.

My platforms. My AIs. My vision. My race.

They took my stability. I'll take the championship.

This is Hexad Racing. This is inevitable.”
