Cayman Brac, Cayman Islands

The Cayman Motoring Federation (CMF) Executive Committee members, Jane Scaletta/President, Dr. Anthia Richards/Secretary, and Dail Davis/Director, proudly delivered the state-of-the-art Denford CNC MCR 100 machine and Roll Out Track to Layman E. Scott Sr. High School in Cayman Brac today, marking a historic milestone for STEM education and motorsport development in the Sister Islands.

This installation represents a transformative moment for Cayman Brac—providing students with access to world-class technology and hands-on engineering experience through the STEM Racing programme. With these tools, students can now design, machine, test, and race their own miniature F1 model cars using Autodesk Fusion and the same engineering processes used by real motorsport teams around the world.

A Major Step Forward for Cayman Brac and the Cayman Islands – For the first time, students on Cayman Brac will participate fully in the national STEM Racing programme, joining their peers across the Cayman Islands in one of the most innovative STEM initiatives in the region. This advancement not only supports academic enrichment but also sparks future career pathways in engineering, design, technology, and motorsport.

CMF extends heartfelt thanks to its sponsors and supporters who have helped bring this vision to life:

  • Cayman Customs Automotive — whose belief in the programme from its inception and continued sponsorship has driven its growth and success.
  • Caribbean Utilities Company (CUC) — whose support ensures students have access to the essential materials and resources needed to compete at an international standard.
  • The Ministry of Education — whose commitment to STEM and youth development has made it possible to introduce advanced engineering tools into Cayman’s secondary schools.
  • Cayman Airways – dedicated to helping CMF deliver STEM Racing equipment and consumables to Cayman Brac.

Their shared dedication has empowered Caymanian students to explore engineering, problem-solving, innovation, and teamwork through the STEM Racing programme.

What Full FIA Recognition Means for the Cayman Islands

What Full FIA Recognition Means for the Cayman Islands

In December 2024, a major milestone was achieved: the Cayman Motoring Federation (CMF) received full federation recognition from the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) the global governing body for motorsport and mobility.

 

This achievement is a game-changer for Cayman. Here’s why:

1. Global Legitimacy

FIA recognition officially positions CMF and the Cayman Islands on the world motorsport and mobility. As a full member, CMF now has the authority to:

  • Oversee all sanctioned motorsport activities in the Cayman Islands.
  • Certify officials, stewards, marshals, and drivers to international standards.
  • Represent Cayman’s interests in FIA global discussions and policymaking.

This recognition ensures that Cayman’s motorsport and mobility programs meet world-class standards.

2. Access to Resources and Expertise

As an FIA member, CMF can now tap into a global network of resources, including:

  • Technical training and development programs.
  • Financial grants for safety, grassroots, and youth initiatives.
  • Best practices from other national federations.
  • Support for building programs like road safety campaigns, STEM education, and sustainable mobility.

This opens doors to faster growth, better training, and stronger event development for Cayman.

3. Bigger Opportunities for Caymanian Athletes

FIA recognition means Cayman’s athletes can now:

  • Compete officially under the Cayman flag at FIA-sanctioned international events, like the FIA Motorsport Games and future competitions.
  • Access structured development pathways from karting to SIM racing to circuit racing and beyond.
  • Aspire to careers in motorsport management, officiating, engineering, and more.

With this new platform, Cayman’s next generation can dream and achieve global success. 

4. Stronger Road Safety and Mobility Initiatives

The FIA isn’t just about racing — it also leads the global effort to promote road safety and sustainable mobility.
With CMF now a full member, Cayman has stronger backing to:

  • Launch and expand programs like the FIA Smart Driving Challenge.
  • Support the Cayman Islands Government’s #RoadToZero road safety strategy.
  • Advocate for greener, smarter, safer transport solutions in our islands.

5. National Pride

Achieving FIA full membership isn’t easy. It requires demonstrated commitment to governance, safety, development, and community engagement.

CMF’s acceptance into the FIA family is a recognition of the hard work, passion, and vision of Cayman’s motorsport community and a proud moment for our entire nation.

Together, we are putting Cayman on the world map — not just as a motorsport nation, but as a leader in innovation, safety, and opportunity.

Stay tuned, and join us as we drive into the future!
