At the heart of UFI’s motorsport activities is the UFI Advanced Applications Division, the company’s specialised unit dedicated to developing filtration solutions for highly demanding applications. Its expertise combines advanced engineering, continuous research and a tailor-made approach to meet the specific requirements of racing.

Today, UFI filtration technologies compete across some of the world’s most prestigious motorsport championships. UFI has been supplying Formula 1 since 1977 and, for the 2026 season, is chosen by all 11 teams. Beyond Formula 1, UFI’s expertise extends across the international racing landscape, from Formula 2 and Formula 3 to INDYCAR and NASCAR, as well as closed-wheel competitions including the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC), IMSA and DTM. Its motorsport presence also extends to the Dakar Rally and motorcycle racing, including MotoGP, Moto2, Moto3 and SBK.

For UFI, motorsport represents much more than competition. It is a demanding technological environment where solutions are challenged under extreme operating conditions, accelerating innovation and strengthening the Group’s engineering expertise.

This experience also creates a valuable connection between racing and the automotive world. Knowledge and technologies can move in both directions, contributing to a continuous exchange between motorsport development and UFI’s broader research and innovation activities.

With decades of experience at the highest levels of competition, UFI continues to see motorsport as a key technology laboratory, where advanced engineering and innovation are constantly put to the test.
