About Formula SAE Formula SAE, started back in 1978, is a student design competition organized by the Society of Automotive Engineers. Since then, Formula SAE has grown into an international competition for the purpose of designing and building a small high performance race car which will compete in multiple performace testing events. Formula SAE encompasses all aspects of a car manufacturing business including research, design, manufacturing, testing, developing, marketing, management and fund raising. Formula SAE takes students out of the class room and puts them in the real world. It is held across five continents and more than 300 universities participate in it. The cars are judged in three different categories: static inspection of engineering design, solo performance trials and high performance track endurance. These events are scored to determine how well the car performs. We will be participating in Formula Student, 2011 which is to be held from 14th -17th July at Silverstone Circuit, the home of British Grand Prix. Formula Student, run by IMechE in partnership with SAE, is the largest of all Formula SAE events with participation from over 100 universities all over the world. With Ross Brawn OBE, Team Principal, MERCEDES GP PETRONAS Formula One Team as its patron, Formula Student offers a perfect platform to showcase our technological prowess.

Team Work Award which highlights our work culture, bonding between team members and capability to work efficiently as a team.
Our Team We are guided by our extremely competent faculty, and are backed by our institute for this engineering project. Our faculty advisors from the Department of Mechanical Engineering are: Prof. Amiya R. Mohanty Prof. Kingshook Bhattacharyya Prof. C.S. Kumar Team KART is a dedicated team of motivated inter-disciplinary engineering students of Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur. Each member contributes towards the team in his specialized area of interest. The team is a blend of students from various years. Team members handle the various aspects of this competition ranging from the technical details such as the engine, chassis, suspension and brakes, to managing the marketing and sponsorship for the team.
IIT Kharagpur & Team KART IIT Kharagpur, oldest of all the IITs, is considered as the torch bearer of the IIT System. It has been instrumental in putting India on the world map. Today it boasts of producing the brightest minds in the country and is the epicentre for a majority of technological breakthroughs in the country. Formula SAE at IIT Kharagpur took a solid form in October 2008, when a group of enthusiastic students got together to form Team KART. The team is currently building a car which will be entered in the Formula Student competition in July 2011 held at the home of the British Grand Prix, Silverstone circuit, UK. The project is being carried out under the aegis of Sponsored Research and Industrial Consultancy Cell (SRIC) and the Mechanical Engineering Department, IIT Kharagpur. Team KART is supported by the Department of Mechanical Engineering which has kindly extended its state of the art facilities like Rapid Prototyping, Workshop facilities and is also installing a new Chassis Dynamometer in the IC Engines Lab for the testing and tuning of the car.
