Engineeringformotorsport.
A UK consultancy delivering vehicle, manufacturing, and software programmes from first principles. The engineer scoping the work is the engineer doing it. No account managers, no handoffs, no theatre.
Godfrey Engineering is a UK-based multi-discipline consultancy. We work across automotive, motorsport, manufacturing, and software. The same team, the same standards, the full stack.
No layers between you and the engineer. No handoffs. Founded in 2025 by Ben Godfrey, after a decade of motorsport, automotive, and production-engineering work for OEMs and racing teams. From 72-hour rig turnarounds to fourteen-month vehicle programmes.
Six disciplines.
One team.
From concept sketches to track-side setup sheets. Pick the piece you need, or bring us the whole programme.
03 · How we engineer
Four ways the work changes shape.
Watch the gearbox rotate. Each facet is a different dimension of how a Godfrey programme runs.
Four rules.
Applied to everything.
Principles that show up in how we scope a brief, write a report, and close a programme.
ChainSolve.
Block-graph
calculator.
Rust core, WebAssembly runtime, 182KB gzipped. Tolerance stacks, thermal networks, NVH predictions, composed visually and solved at native speed. Sub-40ms solves on 100k-node graphs. Your CPU, not ours.
The usual way. Our way.
Six things that separate a Godfrey engagement from a typical consultancy. None of this is revolutionary. It's just how engineering should be done.
Four stages.
No theatre.
A deliberate process. Small enough to run fast, structured enough that nothing is lost between meetings.
What the engineers on the other side say.
Attribution is by role because most of these programmes are under NDA. Full case briefs available on request.
They rewrote the rear end in fourteen weeks. We found 0.82 seconds a lap on identical driver and tyre on day one. I'd have paid twice as much.
The rig passed UN 38.3 on the first submission. Throughput went up four times. That's not a consultancy result, that's an in-house-team result delivered faster.
We knew the intake was the problem. Nobody had a solution that fit the packaging. Ben's team delivered the ducting in nine weeks and the car shipped with it.
The software we actually use.
