About SUPRA SAEINDIA

After the roaring success of SUPRA SAEINDIA 2014 which was held at Madras Motor Race

Track, Chennai. SAEINDIA is pleased to organize, SUPRA SAEINDIA 2015 Event in July

2015 for the students of the Engineering Institutes all over India

As an event that challenges young minds to compete as teams in designing a Formula

category vehicle, there is no other event like this in the country. To develop a vehicle consisting of various sub systems, meeting engineering specifications, timelines and above

all meeting safety standards is a challenge not for the faint hearted. And then making the

rubber hit the road at a premium race track under gazing eyes of experienced technical

experts and other enthusiasts is a thrill not just for the participants, but for the mobility

community at large.

As a one year long challenge across multiple stages comprising of design defence (“Virtual Supra” in event language), multiple rounds of technical inspections and actual construction

of the vehicle, this event helps shape future engineers through competitive spirit and

encompasses all elements of a vehicle building for aesthetics in design, to the choice of

parts, through structure design and modelling, to fabrication and testing. This event sets

the stage to assess the capability for teamwork, entrepreneurship, leadership and management skills of the ‘students.

110 teams constituting the crème de la crème, selected on criteria such as Engineering

Design, Design Validation, Project plan, from various Engineering Colleges across the

country, will strive for a place on the podium. This event provides a real world engineering

challenge for the SAEINDIA Student members that reflect the steps involved in the entire

process from design development, building prototype, and production to marketing and endurance confirming to well laid down criteria. This helps the objective of bringing out

student talent to serve the nation for the years to come, in fulfilment of the Automotive

Mission Plan (AMP 2016) a dream to make India an International Automotive Hub. We

invite you to come and kindle your innovative ideas and creativity to experience engineering

better than the best.

Journey of Team VR-25

Our supra vehicle which has been built by our team VR-25 with passion, dedication and

more interest towards activity was loaded in the truck on 30th June 2016. The vehicle is

reached the main event i.e. Buddh international circuit and we took the vehicle in to the pit

which is provided by SAE.

Buddha international circuit

Our college Team titled VR25 involved 25 members from SE to BE Mechanical Engineering.

There is so much to learn from our mistakes, failure e is just another chapter. Even though

we did not clear the racing event, there were so many things this competition taught us. Right from sponsorship, building the car to building a strong team spirit.

Result of SAE SUPRA INDIA 2016
