🏁 Are you a student or junior engineer trying to break into motorsport? I offer 1:1 mentoring to help you: – Pick the right projects – Build relevant experience – Understand what teams actually want Apply here calendly.com/gripengineer/m… Or DM me if you’re serious about this career.

Two workshops. One goal: turn theory into real motorsport. 🏎️ Thanks to ITK Engineering, I guided BCN eMotorsport through vehicle dynamics and testing, bridging knowledge with performance. #FormulaStudent #Motorsportengineering #Engineering #GripEngineer

A historic first for hydrogen racing. And a proud debut for Team Hansen in a new era of motorsport. Precision. Resilience. Adaptation. That’s what performance really means. #ExtremeH #GripEngineering

Andreas Bakkerud and Catie Munnings fought back from last to P5. Lap after lap, they showed what defines this team: resilience. For me as a performance engineer, this event proved one thing: you can’t control everything: but you can control how fast you adapt. #RaceEngineering

We had the pace. We had the performance. And we were taken out. Team Hansen made its debut at the first-ever hydrogen race in history:the FIA Extreme H World Cup. A new era for racing. A new challenge for engineering. #ExtremeH #HydrogenRacing

Performance isn’t found. It’s built, session by session, until everything connects. #E1Series #TeamBrazil #GripEngineer #PerformanceEngineering #RaceEngineering #ElectricRacing

This wasn’t just a win. It was proof that precision, resilience, and teamwork always find their way to the top.

A first for Team Brazil. A first in Africa. ⚡🇳🇬 In Lagos, we made history, winning Team Brazil’s first-ever E1 race at the first event ever held on the continent.

An interview can be the start of a new chapter - if you go in prepared. That’s what my mentoring paths are designed to give you: clarity, focus, and confidence. 👉DM me if you’re ready to prepare for your next opportunity in motorsport. #FormulaStudent #Motorsportengineering

“Josep gave me structure, focus and confidence. His insights into how top-level teams operate helped me approach the interview with clarity.” Precise. Motivating. Valuable.

Talent isn’t enough to pass a world championship team interview. You need clarity and insight into what teams really expect. Antonio, a vehicle dynamics engineer, was preparing for a top level interview. Nervous. Uncertain. No roadmap. One mentoring session changed everything.

Turning theory into control. Turning control into results. That’s the lesson Formula E gave me, and I carry it everywhere. 👉 If you’re starting your path in motorsport, what’s the first lesson you want to master? #GripEngineer #FormulaE #Motorsport #FormulaStudent

Since then I’ve engineered across: 🏎 IndyCar 🌍 Rallycross 🌊 E1 electric powerboats But Formula E is still where I learned to think differently as an engineer.

4 years ago I was in Formula E – but it feels like a lifetime. ⚡🏎 My first step into electric racing. Where performance engineering wasn’t about theory. It was about control. #GRIPthrowback

@llluis555 It is important they know how to start in Motorsport, and also that there is life outside of F1! Your blog really helps with that, I have been a long time follower

@GRIPengineer Thanks much, Josep Maria!! Big fan of your motorsport activities, but overall of your mentoring job, so important for so many young engineers wanting to start a career in motorsport. 👏👏👏
