Thank you to our Bronze Sponsor, Harrower Tube Bending, for their support of our 2026 season.
 
Based in Bendigo, Harrower Tube Bending are specialists in CNC mandrel tube bending, delivering high-precision bent components for a wide range of industries. Their expertise played a key role in the manufacture of our chassis, including many of the bent tubes that make up the frame and our main roll hoop.
 
With capabilities including 3-dimensional CNC mandrel bending and CNC tube measuring, Harrower are able to produce complex tube geometries while maintaining tight tolerances and consistent tube profiles. This precision is critical in ensuring our chassis components meet both design intent and manufacturing requirements.
 
We are grateful for their continued support as we work towards bringing M26 to life.

Our Powertrain team has been focused on optimising and validating the systems that will drive M26, building on the lessons learnt from last year’s competition and testing regime.
 
Through dyno days, cooling tests and continued design validation, the team has been working to maximize performance while improving reliability across longer and more demanding runs. A key focus has been the development of a cooling system capable of supporting our ambitious performance targets, while balancing the packaging constraints of the overall car.
 
With close collaboration across Structures, Electronics and other sub-teams, Powertrain is continuing to refine a well-integrated solution as we push toward the next major milestone in our 2026 development journey.

As we approach our manufacturing intensive months, we’d like to welcome bronze sponsor Newlands Fasteners & Engineering Supplies to our sponsorship portfolio.
 
Newlands Fasteners & Engineering Supplies is a family-run business serving the local community, tradespeople, and industry with a comprehensive range of fasteners and engineering supplies. Their extensive product catalogue covers everything from bolts, nuts, screws, and rivets to abrasives, power tools, cutting tools, hand tools, adhesives, lubricants, sealants, and a broad selection of engineering accessories.
 
Fasteners are one of the most critical and often unnoticed parts of a race car. In our VD systems, every component from the steering, suspension to braking is held together by hardware. Therefore, we need to trust that the hardware will not fail. The support Newlands provides us with their high quality fasteners ensures that we can focus on improving the performance of the vehicle without worrying about reliability or potential mechanical issues.
 
Thanks again for the support, and welcome to the team.

A few frames from COMP 2025.

Shoutout to for these awesome shots 🤩

A few film shots from our trip to FSAE-A 2025.

From scrutineering and static events to skidpad, autocross, and endurance, these photos capture some of the moments from a busy week at competition. While most of our content is focused on the car and event results, it’s always nice to look back at some of the moments in between.

As we continue preparing for Comp 2026, we thought we’d share a few favourites from the archive.
