We pleased to inform you that 6th edition of SUPRA SAEINDIA scheduled from 11th June to 16th June 2018 at BIC, Greater Noida. SUPRA is the national level engineering student competition where teams from various engineering colleges participate. In this student design and fabricate a formula-style vehicle. The student not only designs the vehicle but also built them as per the given set of rules (Rule Book) and the design standard of SAE international. Making the student learn and realize their talent through experience, through this we try to extract future entrepreneur, technocrats, innovators and leaders, thus serving the prime objective of bringing out real talent to serve the Indian automotive industry for the years to come, in the continuation with the vision automotive mission plan, a dream to make India an international automotive hub. In this Edition, 127 teams of various engineering colleges from all over the country are participating, which consists of more than 3000 participants. In this event specification of the vehicle frame and engine are restricted to 610cc engine so, that knowledge, the creative imagination of students are fully challenged. The cars are built with a team effort over a period of one year and compete with other teams on the race track. The end result is a great hands-on experience for young engineer encouraging team to work with specific and end objective. During the main event, the team go through several levels of testing. i.e. Technical inspection( vehicle scrutiny, tilt test, noise test & break test) static events (cost presentation, marketing presentation, design presentation) Dynamic events (Acceleration test, skidpad test, autocross test) and endurance test.
A 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 8th July 2019. The vehicle is reached the main event i.e. Buddh international circuit and we took the vehicle into the pit which is provided by SAE.
Our college Team titled VR25 involved 25 members from SE to BE Mechanical Engineering students. There is so much to learn from our mistakes, failure is just another chapter. We have registered for the competition in the month of oct 2018. In this event our team built car considering all the rules and regulation mentioned in the rule book by SAEINDIA. Which cleared all the ten test such as TI, tilt, Noise, Break, and all the dynamic events, which is a great achievement for our team and to our VIIT College there were so many things this competition taught us. Right from sponsorship, presentation, marketing, cost, building the car to building a strong team spirit.
During the six days of the event from 15th July 2019 to 20th July 2019 various activities such as Registration, Technical Inspection Scrutiny, Weight Check of the vehicle, various tests such as Tilt Test, Noise Test, Electrical, and Air Intake Test etc. were conducted.
Result Over The Year: Our Achievements
- SUPRA 2019 – 7th TEAM TO CLEAR T.I
- WINNER of MOST COST EFFECTIVE CAR, OVERALL RANK 7th. ( total of 127 teams)
