Introduction
 Society of Automotive Engineers
 The events of competition consists of two
parts namely static and dynamic
 The main aim of the large number of students
will be perceiving, designing and assembling
of various kinds of formula based cars.
 The static portion mainly consist of various
kinds of various kinds of parts like
presentation of project, design and proper
analysis of cost.
 The dynamic portion of the event will consist
of following points like Endurance and
Economy, skin paid and acceleration.

 The skin paid test – This particular
kinds of test mainly checks the
design of a car to easily negotiate
with a constant value of radius.
 Autocross Test – The main aim of
the test is easily analyze the ability
of concerning, braking and
acceleration.
 Endurance and fuel economy
 Judgement of vehicles.
