Case Study: Monash Motorsport races to victory with Wrike

How Monash Motorsport Races to Victory Using Wrike

Monash Motorsport is a 70‑person, student-run, non‑profit team from Monash University that designs, manufactures, tests and races a Formula‑style car each year. With members from engineering, science, business and marketing, the team must coordinate five technical sections to design and assemble more than 10,000 parts in just nine months — a highly interrelated, non‑linear process that requires tight communication, iteration and simultaneous work across subteams.

To manage that complexity they use Wrike to plan top‑down: assign major parts as milestones, break those into weekly tasks, and visualize dependencies with the Timeline (Gantt) while staying connected via mobile apps. Year‑ahead scheduling of hard dates and travel lets them balance concurrent projects (e.g., European competitions and building the next car), improving accountability and efficiency — helping Monash Motorsport sustain its competitive success, including a string of FSAE Australasia wins since 2009 and a top global ranking.
