About Formula Lab

The gap between University and Formula 1 is broken. We are here to fix it.

Formula Lab was founded on a simple, uncomfortable truth: The motorsport industry has evolved, but education hasn't.

Every year, 5,000+ mechanical engineering graduates fight for fewer than 20 junior roles in Formula 1. They graduate with perfect GPAs and textbook knowledge of thermodynamics, yet they fail technical interviews because they have never touched real-world telemetry, run a CFD sweep, or coded a Python tyre model.

They are "Textbook Smart," but the teams need "Trackside Ready."

Our Mission: Formula Lab is the Elite Race Engineering Academy. We bridge the gap between academic theory and the F1 pit wall.

We are not a university. We are a career accelerator. We strip away the theory and focus 100% on the applied skills that actually get you hired: Vehicle Dynamics, Computational Aerodynamics, and Race Strategy.

How We Do It:

• No Professors: Our curriculum is taught exclusively by active engineers currently working in F1, F2, WEC, and Super Formula.
• No Outdated Theory: We teach the 2026 FIA Technical Regulations. While universities teach history, we teach the future.
• No Paper Degrees: Our students graduate with a GitHub Portfolio of simulations and code that proves their competence to Technical Directors.

We are building the new standard for motorsport education from our headquarters in Asia, opening the door for global talent to break into the European stronghold of racing.

We don't just teach engineering. We build the engineers that win championships.

We operate with the speed and intensity of a Formula 1 team on race week.

Formula Lab is not a corporate 9-5. We are a high-growth startup building the world's elite motorsport engineering academy. Our mission is to bridge the gap between university theory and the F1 pit wall, and we do it by moving faster than the competition.

The Culture: High Performance, No Passenger Seats.

• Speed is a Skill: We don't wait for permission. We ship, we measure, and we iterate. If you need 3 meetings to make a decision, you won't survive here.
• Meritocracy Over Seniority: We don't care about your years of experience; we care about your output. The best idea wins, whether it comes from the CEO or the intern.
• Obsessive Excellence: We are training engineers for F1. Our product (the curriculum) must be flawless. "Good enough" is not in our vocabulary.

What to Expect:

• The Grind: Startups are hard. There will be late nights during launch weeks. There will be chaos. You need to be someone who runs towards the fire, not away from it.
• The Reward: We believe in aggressive compensation for aggressive results. If you help us win, you win. We offer competitive equity packages and performance bonuses that outpace the industry standard.
• The Access: You will work directly with active engineers from F1, F2, and WEC. You are building the future of motorsport education.
