President
Guillermo Almazán
Represents the team and is accountable for the project as a whole before the institution and its partners.
Team
Who builds the car
More than seventy students across twelve areas. Each one is accountable for part of the vehicle, and all of them share the same calendar.

Founding generation
Leadership
Vice President
Montserrat de la Cruz
Coordinates day-to-day operations and keeps the engineering and business areas aligned.
Chief Engineer
Óscar Sánchez
Holds final authority on technical decisions and is accountable for the twelve areas closing as a single vehicle.
Manufacturing Lead
Omar Sandoval
Leads the manufacturing plan and the workshop: how the design becomes parts, in what order and against what schedule.
Business Lead
Mauricio Briones
Leads partner relations and the business case presented and scored at competition.
Faculty Advisor
Manuel Martínez Martínez
Academic advisor to the team on behalf of Tecnológico de Monterrey.
Engineering areas
7 subdivisions
01
Suspension
Sara Moreno López
Area lead
Defines how the car responds when the driver asks something of it: the geometry that keeps all four tyres working and the load distribution that decides whether the car holds or slides. The area moves from simulation to the track and returns with data that changes the design.
- kinematics
- simulation
- setup
- track testing
02
Chassis
Emiliano Narváez
Area lead
Designs and welds the structure that carries every other system and protects the driver. Each tube answers a regulatory requirement before it answers a design preference. The rest is geometry, welding and verification.
- structure
- welding
- manufacturing
- verification
03
Powertrain
Eduardo López
Area lead
Converts stored energy into traction: motor, transmission and every mount that ties them to the chassis. This is where high-voltage engineering and mechanical design have to coexist without either one giving way.
- transmission
- high voltage
- integration
- assembly
04
Electronics
Susana Fang
Area lead
Builds the nervous system of the car: low-voltage circuits, the safety systems the electrical regulations demand, and the data acquisition that tells the team what actually happened on each lap.
- low voltage
- wiring harness
- firmware
- data acquisition
05
Steering
Daniel Santiago Cepeda
Area lead
Resolves the only direct connection between the driver's hands and the pavement. The objective is precision and honest feedback: the wheel has to tell the truth about what the front axle is doing.
- mechanisms
- ergonomics
- precision
- driver interface
06
Brakes
Alejandro González
Area lead
Designs the system that stops the car and tests it until no doubt remains. It is one of the few subsystems where failure admits no nuance: it passes technical inspection or the car does not run.
- hydraulics
- technical inspection
- validation
- testing
07
Aerodynamics
Fernando Soto
Area lead
Works the air the car has to move through: wings, floor and bodywork. The area iterates in CFD and weighs every gain against what it costs to manufacture and the mass it adds to the vehicle.
- CFD
- iteration
- composites
- moulds
Administrative areas
5 areas · the team also runs itself
08
Marketing
Mercy Álvarez
Area lead
Communicates the work of the team. Maintains the brand, the social channels and the material Tec Racing uses to present itself to partners, to the campus and to prospective members.
- brand
- content
- social media
- outreach
09
Finance
Kennice Scarlett Félix
Area lead
Administers the season budget and maintains the Cost Report, which in Formula SAE is not an accounting formality but a scored competition category judged in person.
- budget
- cost report
- procurement
- control
10
Logistics
Betsy Nayelly Perez
Area lead
Ensures everything arrives on time: suppliers, imports, tooling, workshop and transport of the car to each event. Without this area the manufacturing calendar is an intention rather than a date.
- suppliers
- imports
- inventory
- transport
11
Project Management
Bryan Vergara
Area lead
Maintains the project schedule and the dependencies between areas, so that the start of manufacturing is a date on a calendar rather than an aspiration.
- scheduling
- dependencies
- tracking
- deliverables
12
Social Responsibility
Vanessa Alejandra Mecott
Area lead
Runs Motores de Ideas, the team's social service programme within Tecnológico de Monterrey. Members teach hands-on engineering sessions at public secondary schools across the region, using the car and its subsystems to show students what engineering actually looks like.
- Motores de Ideas
- outreach
- public schools
- STEM
Life on the team
Campus Monterrey
Twelve areas, weekly reviews, supplier visits and outreach. The car is the output; this is the work.
Recognition
Two awards at Orgullo CGIV
- First place · Outstanding Student Group
- Second place · Student Impact
Awarded by the Consejo de Grupos de Interés y Vinculación at Tecnológico de Monterrey.
Join the team
Tec Racing recruits every semester. Prior experience is not required; following through on what you start is.
- 01
Applied engineering
Classroom theory becomes a part that someone will manufacture and that has to work. The feedback is not a grade: it is the car running, or not running.
- 02
Multidisciplinary work
Twelve areas share one vehicle. You will negotiate space, mass and budget with students from other degree programmes every week.
- 03
Industry exposure
Our partners are manufacturing, software and welding companies. Working alongside their engineers is part of the normal operation of the team.
- 04
Technical and management skills
CAD, simulation, manufacturing and validation, but also budgeting, scheduling and supplier management. The team administers itself.
- 05
International competition
The work is evaluated by judges who work in the industry, against teams from across the continent.
- 06
A project you can point to
You leave with a complete vehicle you worked on and decisions you can defend in an interview.
