Who Are We?

Here at Matador Motorsports, every member is a valued member of our team here. Each of them bringing their own experience and expertise to the table, we wouldn't be where we are today without every member in Matador Racing's history. Learn more about our current members below. 

With Special Thanks To Our Faculty Advisor

Without the guidance and support of CSUN's very own Professor Stewart Prince, Matador Motorsports would not be where it is today. We thank him and the College of Engineering and Computer Science for their continued support of our team.

Aero

Back in 1960, Enzo Ferrari said that aerodynamics are for people who can't build engines.
Six years later, Ford Beat Ferrari at Le Mans in part due to superior aerodynamic design.
It's the art of cheating the wind, maximizing downforce while minimizing drag.

Controls

"People like you or I, know... we have an unshakable belief that cars are living entities" - Jeremy Clarkson
Controls connect the driver to this living, breathing entity, creating an extension of their intent.
Good controls don't feel like anything, they just feel right.

Chassis

The backbone of our car, the chassis is the unsung hero of many designs.
Strength, agility and control, all of the characteristics of a great car stem from the work done by this subteam.
The right weight distribution, stiffness, and protection for the driver inside, these are among their goals.

Drivetrain

The sommelier of speed, a good drivetrain serves up power with finesse, bringing out the best a car has to offer. Power is only effective when put to the ground consistently, and it's their job to make sure that happens. Reliability, speed, and efficiency are among this subteam's goals.

Engine

The beating, screaming heart of nearly every car, the engine is often the protagonist in the story of speed.
Controlling chaos at over 10,000 RPM, there's an oddly human element to how perfectly imperfect a good engine feels.
This subteam's job is to ensure this perfect imperfection keeps going, no matter the conditions.

Suspension

The suspension is the translator between the car and the road, creating a dialogue for the driver to understand.
Allowing the car maintain its composure, ensuring that every command of the driver is followed, this is what a good suspension does.
This subteam works to maximize this relationship between car and road, the difference between a good and a great car.
