CRT welcomes Altium as a strategic sponsor

Córdoba Racing Team (CRT) is proud to announce that Altium is joining our family of sponsors. This support not only boosts our competitive motorsport project, but also strengthens the technological foundation on which our Formula Student work is built.

Who is Altium?

Altium Limited is a leading multinational company in the development of electronic design software and engineering solutions that cover the entire lifecycle of electronic systems creation. Founded in 1985 by Nicholas Martin in Tasmania, Australia, the company began with pioneering tools for printed circuit board (PCB) design and, over the years, has evolved into one of the world’s most respected providers of Electronic Design Automation (EDA) solutions.

With a presence in multiple markets including the United States, Europe, China, and Japan, Altium has marked significant milestones in the history of electronic engineering. In 1991, it launched one of the first PCB design systems for Microsoft Windows, and in 2001 it officially adopted the name Altium to reflect its broader vision of unified electronic design.

Since then, the company has continued to innovate, expanding its portfolio of tools through in-house development and strategic acquisitions to integrate capabilities such as component management, cloud collaboration, and integrated design environments.

What does Altium do?

Altium’s solutions are designed to support engineers from concept through to the manufacturing of complex electronic systems. Their tools enable:

• Schematic capture and electronic circuit design.

• PCB design and layout with support for advanced features.

• Cloud data integration and collaboration to manage versions and facilitate teamwork.

• Support for complete workflows, from component selection to final manufacturing preparation.

These capabilities are used in sectors such as automotive, aerospace, telecommunications, defense, and more, where quality, efficiency, and reliability are top priorities.

What does this sponsorship mean for CRT?

Altium’s support represents a strategic opportunity to take our engineering to new levels. Thanks to their backing:

• We will have access to professional electronic design tools that facilitate integration between mechanical systems, electrical systems, and embedded software.

• We will improve our efficiency in the design and validation of electronic systems within the single-seater, reducing iteration times and enhancing the technical quality of our devices.

• We will foster an educational and professional synergy between our students (future engineers and industry) best practices in electronic design.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Altium for believing in our project and walking alongside us during this exciting season of challenges and achievements. Welcome to CRT!
