USF Pro Championships announce Marelli tech partnership, engineering award

Andersen Promotions has revealed a four-year technical partnership with Marelli as the Official Data/Telemetry Partner to its USF Pro Championships driver development ladder series USF Pro 2000, USF2000 and USF Juniors, all presented by Continental Tire. In addition, a Marelli Engineer of the Year Award will be assigned to recognize outstanding professionalism in the engineering field in each of the three series.

Marelli is a global technology partner to the automotive industry, with a strong and established track record in innovation and manufacturing excellence. The company is dedicated to co-creating the mobility of the future with customers, suppliers and partners. In the motorsports field, Marelli has been developing advanced systems and components for racing for over 100 years, supplying all the top teams in all the most important four and two-wheels world championships.

In a gradual rollout, USF Pro Championships teams will utilize the Marelli SRG-141 ECU (Engine Control Unit) with internal data logger and a complete suite of analysis software developed for the highest levels of motorsport.

A seminar was held at the series’ annual Spring Training at NOLA Motorsports Park earlier this year to introduce team engineers to Marelli tools including WinTAX4 and SYSMA. Marelli also provided trackside technical support in the series’ two opening rounds at St. Petersburg and NOLA.

“We have had a relationship with Marelli for several years now in an optional role, and I am pleased to announce our new partnership which will see Marelli components as our new standard,” said Dan Andersen, owner and CEO of Andersen Promotions. “Marelli has had a long presence in racing on a global scale and we are excited to bring its expertise to our USF Pro Championships paddock.”

All 60+ entries across the three series will display a Marelli logo to support the new partnership.

“We are proud to support the USF Championships by providing our advanced vehicle control and data analysis tools,” said Riccardo De Filippi, head of Marelli Motorsport. “Being a partner of a developmental championship allows us to assist young engineers and drivers at the very start of their professional journeys. We are excited to offer them our technologies, contributing to their success and to innovation in motorsport.”
