Motorsports are fast and thrilling—but safely achieving racing speeds requires the support of hundreds of precision components from The Lee Company. Learn why Lee is found in racing vehicles the world over.

Motorsports | Our Experience

From the Skies to the Track

Speed and precision aren’t the sole domain of motorsports – they’re qualities that The Lee Company offers as well. You need to be prepared on the day of the next race, so we pledge to deliver the highest-quality parts as fast as possible. To that end, our degreed Technical Sales Engineers will work directly with your designers, providing custom-engineered parts that are durable enough to survive the entire race yet small and lightweight enough to be integrated into the smallest recesses of your vehicle.

The Lee Company produces several parts for motorsports applications, including plugs, flow restrictors, safety screen filters and valves such as check valves, relief valves and solenoid valves. These components are used in nearly every fluidic system in a motorsports vehicle area, including engaging and releasing the clutch, changing gears, steering, locking the differential, controlling the rear wing, operating variable intakes, braking, fuel control, lubrication, and cooling. In addition, we specialise in producing custom parts in a short turnaround time. You can use our expertise to save time and engineering resources while still receiving unique components in time for the next race.

Motorsports teams push the envelope with components from The Lee Company. Over the years, we’ve created numerous innovations that improve fluidic system performance. We created the Lee Plug® Expansion Plug, which remains the industry standard sealing solution, as well as Visco flow restrictor technology, high-pressure laser-drilled safety screens, and a performance racing solenoid valve explicitly designed for motorsports applications.

Lastly, we stand by the quality of our components. Each has been manufactured under a benchmark quality management system (QMS) and is put through extensive acceptance testing before being shipped to our customers. Our components have been field-proven across dozens of competitions, including Formula 1, Formula E, MotoGP, America’s Cup and more. Some, such as our solenoid valve, have even been homologated by FIA for Formula 1 racing applications. In short, our components have become vital to most of the fastest land, air, and sea vehicles on Earth.
