The Meridian Cup / Made to Move
Between the hackathon and Meridian, we race.
Made to Move?? Prove it on the track.
270cc karts. Up to 80 km/h. 3 Races. 1 Cup.
Before the conference opens, the Stellar ecosystem takes over Kartódromo do Montijo for a morning of go-karting. Depending on numbers we'll explore different race formats. We will be ripping it up on Honda 270cc karts with a potential driver change mid-race, lift the cup, and be back in Lisbon for lunch. No experience needed.
How to join
Drivers: pick Driver application. The driver fee is €40 when you apply here (€50 at the door, if seats are left). It covers track time across all three races and we are hoping to have a race jersey to keep as well. Once you're approved, our race concierge will message you on Telegram to arrange payment by card, XLM on Stellar or USDC.
Spectators: free. Pick Spectator, watch from trackside and cheer on your team.
Partner projects: apply as a driver and choose "partner seat" for payment. Your two seats are already covered. Plus the partner benefits (Bronze starts at $250).
