ZHCET Formula Racing is a team of 24 undergraduate students from Aligarh Muslim University, India.
The team annually designs and fabricates the Formula Student Race Car for participating in Formula Student events. ZFR was started in 2013 and will participate internationally in FS-UK 2016 for the very first time.
This time we are emphasising more on engineering details of the car compared to the previous design. We are thankful to Pat & Claude for their sincere advise at FDC-2015.
The main objectives for the third racer ZFR3.0 is to significantly reduce the overall weight of the car and bring it under 200 kg to enhance the performance.
The team is supported by sponsors like ZHCOETians89, Paytm, AMU, Sleepwell, Shalimar, Bazzaz, Carbon Light etc. and various individual AMU Alumni.
