Supporting the Next Generation of Engineers: Sibe Sponsors Lassonde Motorsports
At Sibe, we believe in the power of engineering innovation to shape the future. That’s why we are proud to announce our sponsorship of Lassonde Motorsports, the Formula SAE team from the Lassonde School of Engineering at York University.
This student-led, multidisciplinary team is taking on an ambitious challenge: to design and build a race car that reflects the Lassonde spirit; bold, innovative, and determined to push beyond the ordinary.
Renaissance Engineers at Work
The Lassonde Motorsports team embodies what their school calls “renaissance engineers.” These are future leaders who blend technical skill with creativity, social awareness, and an entrepreneurial mindset. In the world of Formula SAE, that combination is essential. Each team member contributes expertise across disciplines, from mechanical engineering to project management, all while balancing the realities of real-world design constraints.
Powering Innovation with PDM
Behind every successful race car lies countless hours of CAD modeling, design iteration, and collaboration. To help the team achieve their vision, Sibe is providing Product Data Management (PDM) tools to power their SolidWorks design process.
With Sibe’s cloud-based PDM solution, the team benefits from:
- Streamlined collaboration across multiple contributors
- Robust version control to prevent overwrites and data loss
- Secure data handling to protect sensitive design files
By reducing the friction of file management, the students can stay focused on what they do best: engineering a car capable of competing on the track.
A Word from the Team
The impact of this partnership is already visible. As team member Ibrahim Riffi shared:
“Most importantly, we have completed our chassis design and will be sending it out in the coming days. It literally could not have been completed without Sibe, so truly on behalf of all of us, thank you!”
Looking Ahead
We are excited to see how Lassonde Motorsports brings their race car from concept to competition. Supporting their journey means more than just providing tool - it means helping shape the future of engineering talent.
At Sibe, we are committed to empowering the next generation of innovators, and we can’t wait to see the results of the team’s hard work on the track.
