quest to apply their technical knowledge on the
ground by conceptualizing and developing a
formula racing car.
Guarded by a standard rule book, the Formula
Supra requires teams to build a single-seat race
vehicle, using an engine having a maximum
capacity of 600cc. With numerous other
guidelines over the construction, dynamics and
safety of the vehicle, students attempt their
hand at designing the car by utilizing various
computer aided tools like CATIA, Unigraphics,
