Curriculum based on 2026 FIA Regulations
Formula 1 Doesn't Care About Your GPA
Universities teach theory. We teach you how to win. The first elite motorsport engineering academy taught by active engineers from F1, F2, and WEC.
The Frustration
The Paddock is a Fortress
Every year, 5,000+ mechanical engineering graduates fight for fewer than 20 junior roles in F1. You have a 4.0 GPA? So does everyone else. Teams don't care about your textbook knowledge. They care about one thing: Can you make the car faster on Day 1?
If you haven't touched real tyre data, run a CFD sweep, or called a race strategy... you are already behind.
The Solution
Real Scenarios,
No Fluff
We don't teach from textbooks. We hand you the raw telemetry from a struggling car and tell you to fix the setup. You solve the same problems real engineers face every weekend.
Instructors from the Pit Wall
Your professors haven't touched a race car in 10 years. Our instructors will be analyzing data in the pit lane this Sunday. Learn from the current grid.
The Portfolio
Guarantee
Don't just graduate with a certificate. Graduate with a GitHub of Python lap sims and a Dossier of CFD analysis. Walk into your interview with proof of performance.
