In the high-octane world of Formula SAE racing, every car element is meticulously designed to achieve peak performance. Among these critical components is the main gear, a vital part that transforms raw engine power into the speed and agility that racing demands. At Hillside Custom Machining, we had the privilege of helping NovaRacing, Villanova University’s Formula SAE team, turn their engineering vision into reality.

Crafting a Custom Solution

When NovaRacing approached Hillside Custom with their requirements for a main gear, it was clear they needed more than just a component; they needed precision, durability, and performance. Our team utilized advanced CNC machining technology to craft a bespoke main gear tailored to the team’s exacting specifications. The process involved meticulous planning, precise execution, and rigorous quality checks to ensure the gear could withstand the extreme stresses of competitive racing.

Supporting Innovation on the Track

This collaboration resulted in a high-performance main gear that became a key contributor to NovaRacing’s success at the Formula SAE Michigan competition, held annually at Michigan International Speedway. This prestigious event brings together university teams from around the globe to design, build, and compete with formula-style race cars. It’s a proving ground for young engineers and a showcase for cutting-edge automotive technology.

By providing a component that met the rigorous demands of racing, Hillside Custom helped NovaRacing unlock its vehicle’s potential. The precision and reliability of the custom-machined main gear enabled the car to perform at its best, translating the team’s hard work and ingenuity into competitive performance on the track.

The Role of Precision Engineering in Motorsports

Our collaboration with NovaRacing highlights the vital role precision engineering plays in motorsports. Behind every success on the track lies a network of skilled engineers and manufacturers working to push the boundaries of what’s possible. From custom gears to aerodynamic components, every piece of the puzzle matters.

At Hillside Custom, we’re proud to contribute to this ecosystem. By combining state-of-the-art technology with a passion for precision, we help racing teams achieve their goals and set new benchmarks in performance.

Looking Ahead

Hillside Custom is excited to support its journey as NovaRacing continues to innovate and push the limits of its engineering capabilities. Whether it’s through custom components or technical expertise, our commitment to excellence ensures we’ll be there to help turn their ideas into reality.

Precision, performance, and passion—these are the values that drive Hillside Custom Machining. And just like the main gear we crafted for NovaRacing, they’re the foundation of everything we do.
