Info
Formula Manipal is the official FSAE team of the Manipal University, Manipal, India. Formula Manipal came into existence in the year 2007. Since then, the team has gone to four different Formula Student events namely: FSAE Italy in 2008, FS UK in 2009, FS Austria in 2010 and FSAE Italy in 2011. It is for the first time that Formula Manipal team is competing in FS Germany. After the FSAE Italy competition in 2011, the team decided to shift to a 2-year project so that it could focus more on manufacturing a reliable and efficient car than all the previous seasons. Refining upon the last season’s design, the team has innovated and fabricated a car of more compact design with reduced weight and a lighter bodywork. The team has also incorporated the Drexler Differential on the car along with the pneumatic gear shifting.
