Formula Monthly | April 2013
THEN AND NOW...
More than a year ago, we dreamt of building a car, a car superior to the ones we have manufactured before, a car that would make us proud on the international racetracks, a car that would represent the new face of Indian engineering. This dream would not have turned into reality without the help and support from our proud sponsors. This month saw the addition of four new organizations who have helped us get a step closer to achieve our dream. We would like to thank Blue Cross Labs, EMI Transmission Ltd., Evonik Industries and Case Construction. We would also like to extend special thanks to Mysore Steel House, Udupi; for providing Formula Manipal with a racetrack to test the car during this crucial time of analyzing the parts of the FMX3. The team is looking forward to a productive testing season. The team is keen on improving the car’s performance by conducting numerous test runs.

With the end semester examinations around the corner, the team faces a challenge to complete the design of the 2014 car on time. The exams can never act as a barrier between the team and their zeal to work, for the members at Formula Manipal worship their work! Read on to know the monthly updates about the team’s progress...
MYSORE STEEL HOUSE Mysore Steel House is a dealer in all sorts of steel and building material. Established in 1970, it is currently one of Udupi’s leading steel trading organization. Mr. Prakash Shenoy, whose the owner of Mysore Steel House, was kind enough to grant Formula Manipal the permission to use his Go-karting track for our test runs. We are grateful to Mr. Shenoy for his support and taking keen interest in our initiative.
