About Us

Honors College Racing Crew is run by the students of the Honors College at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana. The team works together to build a kart from the ground up and compete in a series of races including the Purdue Grand Prix.

HCRC began in 2016 and has competed in three Grand Prix races. For the 2019 season, the team expanded to add a second kart. The team is excited to compete in the fall Whiteland series and the 69th running of the Purdue Grand Prix.
