Info
GSRacers is a first year team participating in the formula student design competition.In 2012, a bunch of ambitious engineering students from Mechanical and Production Engineering streams got together in an effort to boost the already strong knowledge base built with eight successful years in Mini Baja, and undertook the task of designing a formula style vehicle. After exhaustive study and iterations the team came up with a base design which served as a datum to which the inventive thinking added a lot of new concepts and methodologies.The team's goal for the 2013 design season is to get familiarized with the concepts of advanced design while being competitive at the international level from the first event.
