I am a member of Team MHSSC Racing, from MHSS college of Engineering, Mumbai, who are participating in BAJA SAEINDIA 2010 competition.
To know more about Baja log in here: "www.bajasaeindia.org"
Our team got a lateral entry after securing the 5th overall position at National level in the Virtual Baja Design Challenge.
This event has taught me a lot, before joining it, I did not have much knowledge about the processes that take to make a car but now I do know things upto a certain extent.
Our car may not be the best one around but I think a person learns from his own mistakes. We had made a numbers of mistakes (there are many more) but tried to rectify them as much as we could with help of our seniors and professors.
The car was built approximately in 3 month (we had our exams running for a period of 1 month) under a very tight budget.
We got selected on 12th November and the Event is to be held on 29th Jan.
Here are some work in progress pics that I managed to take.
Just got to know that before loading the car on the truck they managed to climb some stairs with the car.
The car has been transported to NATRiP facility today.
Will get some more pics from the event.
