Phi Rho Racing

Phi Rho Racing Phi Rho Racing is Purdue University's only sorority motorsports team, created through the Alpha Chapter of Phi Sigma Rho.

We have been competing in Purdue University's annual Grand Prix race since the 90's! This page is for the grand prix team of Phi Sigma Rho, a sorority for women in engineering at Purdue University. Purdue's annual Grand Prix, called the the โ€œThe Greatest Spectacle in College Racing,โ€ is a go kart race consisting of 33 drivers and teams that participate in the 160-lap or 50 mile race each spring. O

rganizations that are involved spend many hours building, adjusting, and running their kart. Last year, we made Phi Rho Racing history when our driver earned the "Most Improved Position" award for starting the race in 32nd and finishing 12th! As this is a hugely competitive event, it comes with a large budget. We have a sponsorship packet that goes into more details about our team history, plans for the season, and the various sponsorship levels available upon request. If you would like to contact or are interested in sponsoring, please message us at [email protected].

Thank you to all that came out to support Phi Rho Racing this past Saturday at the 59th Annual Purdue Grand Prix!

It was truly a great experience, going as far as we did. With one of the most spirited fans in the stands, our group was one that cannot be ignored.

The team competed in the sprint races and came in 4th, but achieved the 2nd fastest lap time in our heat. This is all so impressive for our rookie driver. We look forward to developing as a team, further engineering our kart, and supporting our driver as she uses this experience to do even better next year!

We look forward to next year's 60th annual race, with continued support from our sponsors, sorority, and alumni.
