Who we are??

Team Rudra Racing, the SAE collegiate club of NMIT which is composed of 12 students from the final year batch of Mechanical Engineering at the Institute, has built a Student Formula car in just 40 days.
This Student Formula Car, which cost Rs. 3 lakhs to build has been designed and fabricated in compliance with the FSAE rules and guidelines, and has also been tested under the standard testing conditions.  It has a unique but simple camber and toe adjustment mechanism, and suspension pre-load adjustment for all four wheels. The Ride Height Adjuster has three levels of adjustment, considering the track conditions, comfort and safety of the driver.

The car has been designed for a gross weight of 400kg considering the driver, which provides a high power to weight ratio making it ideal for racing. This was achieved through the design, analysis and fabrication of a tubular space-frame chassis. An independent double wish-bone suspension system of unequal length A-Arms was designed and analyzed through Multi Body Dynamics tools and later fabricated. Quick release mechanism was adopted for the steering system. The car was tested on ideal road conditions and the performance was found in compliance with the SAE Standards.
