l t d t f b i t th i only teams are supposed to fabricate their vehicle .

• Professionally fabricated vehicle may be heavily penalized or even disqualified from the competitionthe competition.

• Since Baja SAE India course at Pithampur is designed for vehicles with maximum dimensions of 64” vehicles with maximum dimensions of 64

• 64 “at its widest point of the vehicle and not necessarily the wheel track width with the wheels pointing forward at static id h i ht th f i t ride height therefore is a must .

• Vehicle exceeding this dimension will not be allowed to run in any dynamic event any dynamic event .

• A Go –No Go Device to check this may be made available by the organizers at the site.

• Length is though unrestricted but even Length is though unrestricted but even then max length should not exceed 108 “(as mentioned in the rule book).108 (as mentioned in the rule book).

• one should strictly adhered to all the dimensions stated in rule book in terms dimensions stated in rule book in terms of Roll cage or other subassemblies.This will avoid getting you into • This will avoid getting you into troubles during the Main event .

• Teams are free to use any transmission ysuch that maximum speed of the vehicle on a plain terrain is recommended to be no more than 60 km/hr in top gear .

• Give utmost time for the real testing of the gvehicle (refer new DVP’ format..so as failures on site are prevented.)

• Take rational calls while making vehicle do not go with abrupt designs .(like teams planning for taking output from one of the id f diff ti l it h ld h k ith sides of differential unit should check with

the feasibility of the fabricated part .

C h ld i ll h i ill • Cost report should contain all the cost even it will add the manufacturing cost of the parts taken on lease .
