SUPRA SAEINDIA

The SUPRA SAEINDIA competition challenges teams of University undergraduate and graduate students to conceive, design, fabricate and compete with their own small, formula style, autocross racing cars. SUPRA SAEINDIA organizing committee wishes to give the participating teams the maximum design flexibility and the freedom to express their creativity and imaginations and hence, there are very few restrictions on the overall vehicle design. Teams typically spend little over twelve months in designing, building, testing and preparing their vehicles before competition. The competition gives teams the chance to demonstrate and prove both their creativity and their engineering skills in comparison to the teams from other universities across the country.
