RICHMOND, VA, USA, Jan 28, 2026 – TriMech Group, a leading provider of engineering, design, and manufacturing solutions, announced a strategic technical partnership with Capone Motorsports, a premier motorsports outfit operating the Tower Motorsports program in IMSA. The collaboration is centered on engineering led performance optimization, with TriMech supporting the team through technical consultation, design and simulation services, advanced manufacturing enablement, and precision measurement expertise.
“Today marks an exciting milestone for Capone Motorsports as we officially enter a new technical partnership with TriMech Group,” said Rick Capone, Owner, Capone Motorsports. “This collaboration is about far more than branding or resources – it’s about aligning with a team that shares our obsession with precision, innovation, and continuous improvement. TriMech’s expertise in advanced engineering solutions, simulation, and manufacturing technologies will allow us to push our design, development, and performance capabilities to an entirely new level. From enhancing our data-driven decision-making and streamlining our workflows to accelerating innovation at the track and in the shop, this partnership gives our engineers and crew the tools they need to compete smarter and faster. We’re building a foundation that supports long-term growth, technical excellence, and sustainable performance, and I’m confident that working with TriMech Group will help Capone Motorsports set new standards for what’s possible in modern motorsports.”
The partnership positions TriMech Group as an official technical collaborator, working alongside Capone Motorsports’ engineering and race operations teams to help translate performance goals into practical, repeatable engineering solutions that deliver results both on and off the track.
A Services First Approach to Competitive Performance
In modern motorsports, performance gains are driven by execution as much as innovation. Through this partnership, TriMech Group acts as an extension of the Capone Motorsports engineering organization – providing experienced technical guidance across the entire development process.
Support spans concept development, design refinement, simulation driven analysis, manufacturing strategy, and validation planning. This integrated, services focused approach ensures engineering decisions are informed, efficient, and aligned with real world performance demands.
A Unified Digital Foundation for Engineering Collaboration
Design and simulation efforts within the partnership are built on a shared digital design environment, enabling consistent workflows and effective collaboration across engineering, manufacturing, and race operations. This common foundation allows the team to iterate quickly, manage complexity, and maintain continuity as designs move from concept to physical components.
TriMech provides ongoing guidance and best practices to help Capone Motorsports maximize the value of its digital engineering workflows while maintaining the speed and adaptability required in competitive racing.
Manufacturing Enablement and Precision Validation
To support rapid development and confident execution, TriMech Group provides access to advanced manufacturing capabilities and high accuracy inspection resources. These capabilities enable fast iteration of prototypes, inspection of functional components, and tooling manufacturing, while ensuring parts meet critical dimensional and performance requirements.
Importantly, these resources are delivered alongside hands-on engineering consultation, ensuring manufacturing and inspection efforts support overall performance goals rather than operating in isolation.
Optimizing Performance On and Off the Track
While the partnership is focused on competitive success, it also targets offtrack efficiency and repeatability. By improving engineering workflows and introducing data driven practices, TriMech and Capone Motorsports aim to:
- Reduce development and turnaround timelines
- Improve manufacturing confidence and consistency
- Minimize late-stage changes and rework
- Enable faster, more informed engineering decisions
This approach reflects a shared commitment to sustainable performance and continuous improvement in a demanding racing environment.
Looking Ahead
Together, TriMech Group and Capone Motorsports are aligning engineering expertise with competitive ambition. By leading with services and technical collaboration, the partnership is designed to generate real, repeatable performance improvements in a high-pressure motorsports environment. Conner Janeteas, Director of Innovation at TriMech, explains, “This partnership reflects the alignment of two organizations united by a shared vision: the relentless pursuit of excellence. TriMech’s debut in endurance racing is a significant moment, and we are proud to be part of some of the most impactful events in motorsports alongside Capone Motorsports, a team whose performance excellence is a natural extension of our own culture. Modern car racing continues to be one of the premier development grounds for emerging technologies, and we’re confident that we’ll not only drive performance within the team, but for our own processes and technologies as well”.
