WHERE ARE WE NOW?
In 2023, Hot Wheelz purchased a steel frame chassis and carbon fiber shells from Anderson University, IN. The car hadn’t competed since 2015 and needed numerous updates to meet current Formula Sun Grand Prix regulations. Hot Wheelz has since built a brand-new steel chassis with improvements from the old design. To make the car drivable, we also built and integrated the entire electrical system, dashboard, cockpit, and suspension.
We’ll see you at the 2026 Formula Sun Grand Prix in Brainerd, MN!
