National Champions Heading to Singapore!

We're absolutely delighted to share that Stellar Racing using—one of the amazing teams we've had the privilege to sponsor—has won the STEM Racing Ireland National Finals UNASIS hybrid ceramic bearings supplied by Carter!

This incredible achievement includes:

✨ 1st Overall

✨ Fastest Car Award

✨ Best Engineered Car Award

✨ Best Portfolios Award

Even better? Stellar Racing has qualified for the Aramco STEM Racing World Finals in Singapore (October 4-8, 2026), where they'll represent Ireland on the global stage.

This success is a testament to the dedication, innovation, and engineering excellence of the entire Stellar Racing team and Marist College. It's also a reminder of why we love supporting brilliant young engineers pushing the boundaries of what's possible.

Thank you to Ruairí Collins and the team for letting us be part of your journey. We cannot wait to see you shine in Singapore!

This week we've had enquiries from NASA-funded researchers, aerospace contractors building compact cryogenic systems, racing teams needing bearings that fit where nothing else will, and engineers designing custom equipment with space constraints that standard bearings can't meet.

Extreme load in a compact footprint. High-speed performance when diameter is the enemy. Cryogenic reliability without the bulk. Thin-section engineering that solves the space problem.

These aren't theoretical constraints. They're real applications our customers are solving right now with Silverthin. And they're exactly why we're the European Master Distributor—because sometimes the best bearing for the job is the one that actually fits.

If your project needs bearing performance that doesn't compromise on space, let's talk.

Great to see the continued progress from Oxford Brookes Racing as they push through a demanding and highly competitive season.

While qualification for multiple competitions is a fantastic achievement, the team have also faced the kind of challenges that define high-performance engineering. As highlighted by Reuben, success at this level often comes down to a combination of both ex*****on and circumstance—but what truly stands out is the team’s resilience, grit, and determination throughout a gruelling schedule.

At Carter Manufacturing, we are proud to support a team that not only strives for technical excellence but continues to learn, adapt, and come back stronger. The progress being made is a testament to the strength of the team, and we look forward to seeing what they achieve next.

Aerospace contractors: this is for you.

We've just received inquiries from major programme suppliers—all with one thing in common: they need bearings and tools that standard suppliers can't deliver.

Custom specifications. Friction data. Bespoke tooling. Technical partnership.

We're specialists in aerospace. Not just distributors. Let's work together.
