Indian Institute of Technology Bombay

IIT Bombay Racing is a group of 75 highly enthusiastic and passionate students, supported by NRB Bearings.

It has a three tier team structure under three verticals. The Mechanical and Electrical subsystems are respectively headed by a Chief Engineer and compose of Design Engineers and Junior Engineers. The third vertical administration headed by the Chief Operations Officer and is comprised of Project Managers and Junior Executives.
This year, the team members unanimously decided upon a mission – “Top 20 – Finish within top 20 teams at FSUK 2016”.
The mission is indeed a bold and daunting one, but we are focussed, determined and motivated. Indian teams, in general, are at a disadvantage as compared to European teams due to lack of industrial infrastructure capable of supporting innovative automotive projects. Majority of components such as brake components, carbon fibre sheets, motors, controllers, cells have to be imported due to their unavailability in domestic market. Importing adds up to cost and worsens our woes. Unlike most European colleges, Indian colleges don’t consider working on a Formula Student car as an equivalent to undergraduate or post-graduate thesis. Thus, our work does not get any academic recognition in our college and runs purely on our enthusiasm.
