Lightning Pro

Our car took a long time to develop, and we really wanted to perform better in the national stage. To achieve this, we relied on the help of our teachers, Carlos Neves and Igor Alçada.

Our partners made it all possible, from the booth to our clothing and the car itself.

Next year, we intend to participate again, with more knowledge, experience, and above all, determination.

Lightning Pro

When we got to work after 2024 we decided to simplify our team name, from Lightning Pro MG to just Lightning Pro.

Our team had the support of two teachers in particular: Carlos Neves, from the subject of Mechanical Construction Design – Molds, and Igor, from the subject of Communication and Marketing.

We had 5 team members, each with their own skills and strengths, contributing to the success of the team.
