SUPRA SAE INDIA

SUPRA SAEINDIA is an event conducted by SAE India. The competition is based on Formula SAE International series, which is conducted every year in various parts of world. The Formula SAEINDIA event will be conducted for second time in 2011 in India. This will be conducted at Madras Motor Sports Club, Chennai on 2nd 3rd an 4th July 2011.

Last time this event was held in India by the name of FORMULA SAEINDIA Design Challenge in 2009 at Anna University, Chennai.













OBJECTIVE OF COMPETITION

The Supra SAE INDIA 2011 event is for university under graduate and graduate students which challenges them to conceive, design and fabricate a small formula style autocross racing car.

The project provides the teams a platform to test their mettle, giving them exposure to real world challenges as faced in the industry. This competition gives teams the chance to demonstrate and prove both their creativity and their engineering skills in comparison to teams from other universities across the country.

Although this event needs the teams to participate in a racing event with their own vehicle, the main objective is to make the students follow good engineering practices and to provide them with direct hands-on experience of real world challenges faced in industry.









OBJECTIVE OF VEHICLE DESIGN

For the purpose of this competition, the students need to assume that firm has engaged them to design fabricate and demonstrate a prototype car for evaluation of the same as a product ready for production. The intended sales market for such product is nonprofessional weekend autocross racer. Therefore, the car must have very high performance parameters in terms of its acceleration, breaking and handling qualities. The car must be low in initial cost, easy to maintain, and reliable. The actual cost of the car should be less than Rs. 10,00,000. The challenge for the team is to design and develop a prototype car that meets these goals and intents, and simultaneously follow all the safety rules and norms as specified in the rule book.

















OUR PREPARATION

We have formed a team name “VAAYU” consisting of 21 students from Mechanical and Production branch. Our team consists of students from Third year and a few students from Second year. We have registered our team for this event by paying initial registration fees of Rs. 10,000. Some of the team members have previous experience of participating in SAE BAJA 2010 event. Since we are participating for the first time in SUPRA SAEINDIA event our team members have been trying to acquire as much information as possible from various sources like internet to gain the knowledge required for making a formula type race car.

We have also taken out the approximate cost estimate or the expenses that will incurred during the entire process of the competition. Accordingly we are trying to find proper sponsors the will help us financially for our project
