Auto racing

A worldwide reputation

For over half a century, Del West has been supplying the world's leading engine manufacturers and teams in Formula 1, NASCAR, MotoGP and Endurance racing. We owe our worldwide reputation to this ultra-demanding field.

As pioneers of the titanium valve and the undisputed leader in pneumatic systems, we have been at the forefront of innovation in this field for 50 years. Our components are designed to withstand the challenges of the most demanding tracks.

Valvetrain systems

Del West is the world expert in engine timing. Our engineers see it as a system, not as a series of individual parts. Whether it's turbocharged, hybrid-based system or a high revving naturally-aspirated engine, our technical teams have the right talents and skills to support your engine development needs.

The valve

Del West was an early innovator of titanium valves over 40 years ago. In the following years, we have become the gold standard in the world of high-performance racing engines. Additionally, we have the alloys needed for the high-temperature applications of modern race engines: our titanium aluminide and superalloy valves are designed to meet the most exacting requirements.

The finger follower

In race engines, fingers are subject to incredible high contact stress. At Del West, we have the know how to design them using modern modeling and simulation tools. Our highly flexible production facilities enable us to produce what is needed across a wide range.

The pneumatic valve system

Essential in Formula 1 and MotoGP, pneumatic systems make it possible to reach higher engine speeds. For such systems, Del West partners with the world's leading engine manufacturers. We can develop, test, produce and industrialize these complex systems for your engine.

Lash cap/disk adjustment, keepers, retainer, guide, seat...

All these components are also designed and produced at Del West for the most exacting designs.
