The Factory 11 Story

Factory 11 SimSports was born from a passion for competitive sim racing and a drive to provide top-tier setups. Like many racing teams, Factory 11 has weathered its share of storms - team member changes, internal conflicts, and the inevitable growing pains that come with building something great in the competitive world of sim racing.

Over the years, Factory 11 has seen many talented builders come and go. Some left to pursue other opportunities, others due to disagreements about the direction of the team. There were fallouts, heated discussions about racing strategies, and moments when it seemed like the team might not survive. But through every challenge, two core members remained steadfast in their commitment to the Factory 11 vision: Cody Nevin and Nick Ely.

Cody Nevin emerged as the backbone of Factory 11's setup development, mastering multiple disciplines and becoming the driving force behind our Pro Late Model, Super Late Model, and UMP Modified programs. His dedication to perfection and unwavering commitment to the team kept Factory 11's racing standards at championship level even during the most turbulent times. Nick Ely, originally a Big Block Modified legend and builder, transitioned into the administrative role that keeps the entire operation running smoothly - handling the behind-the-scenes work that allows Cody to focus on what he does best.

Today, Factory 11 stands stronger than ever with this core duo at the helm. They've learned from every setback, refined their processes through every challenge, and built a reputation based on one simple principle: "We don't sell anything we wouldn't race ourselves." The team constantly communicates with customers to gather feedback and make improvements, ensuring our setups work for drivers with different racing styles and skill levels. It's this commitment to continuous improvement and their unbreakable partnership that keeps Factory 11 at the forefront of sim racing setup development.
