    Lyten, a leader in advanced material science and developer of 3D Graphene, has announced the launch of Lyten Motorsports, a new venture focused on transforming the performance of motorsport components through next-generation composite materials. The initiative is being launched in collaboration with INDYCAR Experience, a veteran supplier with over 25 years in global motorsports. 

    At the core of this effort is Lyten’s proprietary 3D Graphene platform, a tunable carbon-based material engineered to enhance strength, reduce weight, and improve electrical and thermal conductivity. Lyten Motorsports aims to use these characteristics to replace metal components and enhance carbon fiber parts for high-speed racing applications. 

    “Motorsports sit at the cutting edge of materials innovation, and we believe 3D Graphene is poised to be the next revolution, just as carbon fiber was in previous decades,” said Dan Cook, Co-Founder and CEO of Lyten. “This platform allows us to build parts that are lighter, stronger, and more efficient while simultaneously reducing environmental impact.” 

    Lyten has already been testing its materials in real-world racing conditions, leveraging a two-year development program on the INDYCAR Experience 2-seater platform. This collaboration provides critical performance data while accelerating the path to commercialization for motorsport applications. The Lyten-sponsored INDYCAR 2-seater will continue testing throughout the 2025 racing season, including at the Indy 500.

    With design and R&D operations anchored at its Silicon Valley headquarters, Lyten has also opened a dedicated motorsports design and manufacturing facility in Indianapolis, co-located with INDYCAR Experience. The facility is now producing 3D-printed composite parts using Lyten’s proprietary graphene-infused filaments and adhesives, with plans to scale into autoclave-based manufacturing to meet broader industry demand.

    “We’re scaling up U.S. manufacturing to meet the growing need for lightweight, high-strength parts across U.S. and international racing series,” said Scott Jasek, CEO of INDYCAR Experience. “Motorsports is a high-growth, technology-driven field, and Lyten’s material science is exactly what’s needed to push the limits of performance.” 

    Lyten, backed by over $425 million in equity funding, including investments from Stellantis, FedEx, Honeywell, Nokia, and Prime Movers Lab, is already applying its 3D Graphene platform to products such as lithium-sulfur batteries, sensors, concrete, and advanced composites.
