About SUPRA SAEINDIA After the roaring success of SUPRA SAEINDIA 2014 which was held at Madras Motor Race Track, Chennai. SAEINDIA is pleased to organize, SUPRA SAEINDIA 2015 Event in July 2015 for the students of the Engineering Institutes all over India As an event that challenges young minds to compete as teams in designing a Formula category vehicle, there is no other event like this in the country. To develop a vehicle consisting of various sub systems, meeting engineering specifications, timelines and above all meeting safety standards is a challenge not for the faint hearted. And then making the rubber hit the road at a premium race track under gazing eyes of experienced technical experts and other enthusiasts is a thrill not just for the participants, but for the mobility community at large. As a one year long challenge across multiple stages comprising of design defence ( Virtual Supra in event language), multiple rounds of technical inspections and actual construction of the vehicle, this event helps shape future engineers through competitive spirit and encompasses all elements of a vehicle building for aesthetics in design, to the choice of parts, through structure design and modelling, to fabrication and testing. This event sets the stage to assess the capability for teamwork, entrepreneurship, leadership and management skills of the students. 110 teams constituting the crème de la crème, selected on criteria such as Engineering Design, Design Validation, Project plan, from various Engineering Colleges across the country, will strive for a place on the podium. This event provides a real world engineering challenge for the SAEINDIA Student members that reflect the steps involved in the entire process from design development, building prototype, and production to marketing and endurance confirming to well laid down criteria. This helps the objective of bringing out student talent to serve the nation for the years to come, in fulfilment of the Automotive Mission Plan (AMP 2016) a dream to make India an International Automotive Hub. We invite you to come and kindle your innovative ideas and creativity to experience engineering better than the best.

The vehicle is reached the main event i.e. Buddh international circuit and we took the vehicle in to the pit which is provided by SAE. Buddha international circuit
Our college Team titled VR25 involved 25 members from SE to BE Mechanical Engineering. There is so much to learn from our mistakes, failure e is just another chapter. Even though we did not clear the racing event, there were so many things this competition taught us. Right from sponsorship, building the car to building a strong team spirit. Result of SAE SUPRA INDIA 2016 I am very happy to announce that our team has secured 42 nd rank out of 172 teams in the national level SAE competition. This shows the team dedication, passion and interest to words the activity. Day 1 4 th July 2016 First day our team has registered the vehicle and they got there ID cards for the event entry and worked on the vehicle such as harness, brake bleeding and other small correction done on the vehicle because they had to face technical inspection on the next day. Students Working on the Car Day 2 5 th July 2016
The second day we were went for technical inspection the judges were inspected the vehicle on the suspension, brake pedal, accelerator pedal and clutch pedal other the that every other parts like steering, engine, chassis etc So, he told to modify and called for the next attempt. Technical Inspection Day 3 6 th July 2016 The third day we have done all the modification on the vehicle. We have changed the mounting points of suspension to stiffen the suspension in the hot pit. The line was very long that we waited for welding for a long time and we have done the work. Day 4 7 th July 2016 Fourth day started the static events. We have presented the design report in front of judges. They have asked many questions on the design and analysis and our students given the answers very efficiently. Which was appreciated by the judges and also they appreciated the chassis design. Design and cost Evaluation Day 5 8 th July 2016 Fifth day we were cleared the technical inspection by Indian judges. But unfortunately foreign judge have given suggestion on the vehicle. And parallel the business presentation given by our team. Appreciation given by the judges.
business presentation Day 6 9 th July 2016 Last day of the event was the endurance event. Only the 20 teams are participated in the endurance out of 172 teams. Which was great experience to watch the car racing on the Buddha international circuit.
