It's kind of fun to look back on this industry and see how racing has influenced the vehicles we work on every day. While there are many who don't like to watch racing on TV or even live, these same people purchase vehicles equipped with technologies that were designed to win races. The engineers and "racers" who create innovations that win at the track are typically the best of the best. Most manufacturers put their best and brightest through their motorsports channel, allowing them to hone their creative skills by solving the problem of winning within the rules. If you follow motorsports you will quickly recognize the changes over the last few years as the sport seeks to be greener and more relevant to the world economy. Changes in fuels and mandatory alternative technologies such as electric drive systems have created an amazing environment filled with challenges for the engineers, resulting in an exciting future for our industry.
