Twelve students from North Carolina State University designed and built a racecar for competition at the 2006 Formula SAE Competition. The team, known as Wolfpack Motorsports, used donated iglide® bearings from igus® on both the steering rack and shifter linkage of the vehicle.

“The bearings are lightweight and need no maintenance,” said team.

Wolfpack Motorsports placed an impressive 6th out of 120 teams and also won the Skip Pad Event. To learn more about the North Carolina State SAE team, visit clubs.ncsu.edu/motorsports.
