Troton supported the students in building a car for the competition

Troton, the owner of the Sea-Line brand, supported the PGRacing Team with products that helped build the PGR-06 car

We are very glad that we supported the PGRacing Team, which took part in the FS Netherlands competition.

PGRacing Team is a team of students from the Gdańsk University of Technology, operating within the “Mechanik” Science Club. The activity of the team began in the second half of 2014 on the initiative of a group of students of the then Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of the Gdańsk University of Technology. During these less than 8 years, 5 generations of vehicles were created in the team workshop! The aim of the students was to design and build a real car that took part in the most prestigious automotive student competition in the world – Formula Student.
