OUR SPONSORS
Thanks to our sponsors for being a part of the team!
Align Racing works as a unit and our sponsors are a part of that unit. Without them it wouldn’t be possible to build a Formula Student race car and a student organization like ours. We are grateful for every sponsor – after all they are the main reasons why we can do what we do.
