Hardly a novice anymore, Team Fateh will now enter its fourth year of FS competitions. This year brings about a new change, better improved strategies and all in all an improvement on our predecessors. With features like the push button solenoid gear shifters, aluminium wishbones and an impressive CBR-2005, this year does look bright for the team. Melioration in the ECU department should prove to be essential in our team’s success this year.  Also, seeing that the team has managed a respectable reduction in weight of the car, not to mention that the bodywork has been moulded and shaped in our very own workshop, is an indication of the resources provided and utilised to their maximum efficiency by the team.
We would like to thank our sponsor. TARKSHYA (winged horse personifying the sun) is ready for Silverstone! Our previous performances have been encouraging and we’re hoping to leave a big mark on the charts of 2011. Best of luck to all the competing teams!
