Motorsport Racing Mechanic (MRM)
Hands-On Training with a Practical Focus
The Motorsport Racing Mechanic (MRM) Course is designed to train and specialize students in the field of motorsport mechanics through a combination of classroom instruction and hands-on experience with both open-wheel and closed-wheel race cars.
Students will gain a deep understanding of race car mechanics, covering essential technical aspects such as vehicle setup, aerodynamics, and electronics—key factors in optimizing performance on the track. Beyond technical skills, the course also emphasizes the critical role of communication and teamwork, including how mechanics build strong working relationships with drivers under high-pressure conditions.
Training takes place in classrooms, pit areas, and on the track at MTS Indianapolis, using industry-grade equipment and materials. Throughout the course, students will have the opportunity to learn directly from experienced motorsport professionals and visit top companies in the racing industry.
As a highlight of the program, students will participate in a hands-on track day with a Formula 4 car, working alongside drivers, data acquisition technicians, and track engineers to simulate the real-world experience of being part of a professional race team.
