About Formula Saeindia

About Formula SAEINDIA The FORMULA SAEINDIA DESIGN CHALLENGE 2009 is a forthcoming competition which presents the Under Graduate & Post Graduate Engineering Students with a stimulating task of designing, simulating and modeling a formula type racing car. The competition is based on Formula SAE International series, which was started way back in 1978 and was originally called The Mini Indy. The concept behind FORMULA SAEINDIA DESIGN CHALLENGE 2009 is that a fictional manufacturing company has contracted a design team to develop a small Formula style race car. The prototype race is to be evaluated for its potential as a production item. The target marketing group for the race car is the non professional weekend autocross racer. Each student team designs and simulates a prototype based on a series of rules. The project fuels the exuberance of the youth by providing teams a platform to test their mettle, giving them a pragmatic exposure to real world challenges as faced in the industry. Students realize their talent through such an experience, making them proven candidates for the future as technocrats, entrepreneurs, designers, innovators and leaders. This serves the objective of bringing out student talent to serve the nation for the years to come, in continuation with the vision Automotive Mission Plan (AMP2016) a dream to make India an International Automotive Hub. The FORMULA SAEINDIA DESIGN CHALLENGE 2009 scheduled for 11th December and 12th December would be a high spirited event. We invite you to come and awaken your spirits and experience engineering at its best.
