Our team

An interdisciplinary group of the Tecnológico de Costa Rica, founded in 2023.

Who we are

TEC MotorSport is an interdisciplinary group of the Tecnológico de Costa Rica devoted to research and development in the automotive industry. It was born in 2023 from a passion its members share: Costa Rica has few academic spaces for this industry, and even fewer focused on high-performance technology.

Here, students study, research, design, build and improve automotive engineering projects. Along the way they grow both their technical skills and their teamwork.

Mission

To build knowledge of new technologies among university students, offering a space to research, implement and innovate in the automotive industry, and so develop the field at the university and national level.

Vision

To be a multidisciplinary design and research team at the TEC, specialized in the automotive sector, staying at the forefront of new technologies worldwide.

Management

Leads the whole project: strategy, engineering and logistics.
