It's Not The Critic Who Counts!
It's not the critic who counts,
not the man who points out
how the strong man stumbled,
or when the doer of deeds could have done better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena;
whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood;
who strives valiantly;
who errs and comes short again and again;
who knows the great enthusiasms,
the great devotions and spends himself in a worth cause;
who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement;
and who at the worst if he fails,
at least fails while daring greatly,
so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls
who know neither victory or defeat.

Formula Student (FS) / FSAE:
What is FSAE?
Formula SAE® is a student design competition organized by SAE International (formerly
Society of Automotive Engineers). The first competition was started back in 1979 after Mark
Marshek, then at University of Houston (Texas) contacted the SAE Educational Relations
Department in 1978 to discuss adding a variant event of the Mini Baja; the name Mini Indy
was founded. As many organizers have found, the work in building a car can be exceeded
only by that to organize the event; 1980 failed to produce an organizer. Having seen the
potential of the event, Mike Best, Robert Edwards and John Tellkamp, students at the
University of Texas at Austin, approached Dr. Ron Matthews with an idea - how about
another Mini-Indy, but with some changes? Make the rules more open; let it be as unlimited
as possible. It was desired that this new competition would take the cars to the next level of
engineering. The Baja competition was great for chassis design, but many students wanted to
work on engines as well. The new rules would keep engine restrictions to a bare minimum.
Any four-stroke engine was allowed for the first four years with power limited by a 25.4 mm
intake restriction.
With grass roots support from his students, Dr. Ron Matthews contacted the SAE Educational
Relations Department and set the wheels in motion. To differentiate this new event from the
Mini-Indy, a new name was sought. To reflect better the road-racing nature of the event and
its increased engineering content, the Formula SAE name was adopted.
The concept behind Formula SAE is that a fictional manufacturing company has contracted a
design team to develop a small Formula-style race car. The prototype race car is to be
evaluated for its potential as a production item. The target marketing group for the race car is
the non-professional weekend autocross racer. Each student team designs, builds and tests a
prototype based on a series of rules whose purpose is both to ensure onsite event operations
and promote clever problem solving.
Formula SAE promotes careers and excellence in engineering as it encompasses all aspects of
the automotive industry including research, design, manufacturing, testing, developing,
marketing, management and finances. Formula SAE takes students out of the classroom and
allows them to apply textbook theories to real work experiences.
As a student, taking part in Formula Student gives them the chance to demonstrate their
technical, engineering design, and manufacturing skills. They will also learn important
lessons on team working, time management, project management, budgeting and
presentation: all things that any prospective employer will be looking for.
Formula Student graduates also find that the professionalism they gain as practising engineers
means they are well equipped for their future engineering careers.
The team is given task to produce a prototype for a single-seat race car for autocross or sprint
racing, and present it to a hypothetical manufacturing firm. The car must be low in cost, easy
to maintain, and reliable, with high performance in terms of its acceleration, braking, and

handling qualities. During the competition the team must demonstrate the logic behind their
proposal and must be able to demonstrate that it can support a viable business model for both
parties.
Today, the competition has expanded and includes a number of spin off events. In the United
States there are two locations: California and Michigan; Michigan being the largest event and
longest running.

India and Formula Student:
FSAE/FS started in 1981 in United States of America under the Society of Automobile
Engineers. It took 30 years for a team from India to get to that platform and showcase Indian
Engineering at such an event. FSAE/FS is all about learning and experiencing what it will be
like to work in real world scenario, thus the most important lesson is to learn from
yours/others previous mistakes and ensure that you do not repeat them. Some of the first
teams to be formed in India were:
1. Defianz Racing, Delhi College of Engineering - 2002
2. Ashwa Racing, RCVE, Bangalore - 2005
3. Orion Racing, K. J. Somaiya, Mumbai - 2007
4. Formula Manipal, Manipal University - 2008
By this time there were a few participation from India in various parts of the globe. Till then
there was no good show by any Indian team at such a major event. Reasons were still
unknown but a lot of teams were to follow the path shown by these few teams. Orion Racing
India and Ashwa Racing were making better progress than other teams, but their progress
wasn‟t upto the mark to deliver a car which could compete against the Universities from
Germany or USA.
With Consecutive failure of Indian Teams an International Judge, Pat Clarke once posted
over FSAE forums; “In a discussion with Steve Fox on how our 1st car will be if we were
Indian team, we concluded that we would build a car that would pass all the requirements,
would finish all events and would not finish last for just 2000$. It would not be pretty and it
would not have any unoptanium or unavailabilium on it. It would roll on street wheels and
Tires ….. but it would ROLL!!!!”.
This was the start of a new era with students now having an inspiration and a goal for how
the 1st car should actually be. On the other end an affiliate body to SAE International, namely
SAEINDIA after the successful start of SAE India BAJA, started their discussion on having
an Indian Version of the International FSAE Competition under the Name „SUPRA (Super
Racing) SAE INDIA‟. After a couple of meetings and discussions on frame work, safety and
flow of the event, hard work of Prof. Sudhir Gupte & SAE India President Mr. M. S. Kumar,
first ever Indian Formula Collegiate Series Competition took shape. The 1st Virtual SUPRA
was organized in 2009, where 28 teams participated in final race event which was held at
Madras Motorsports Race Track, Chennai in 2011. The event was not totally compliant to the
International Rules but served as a good platform for young teams to get in. Supra
SAEINDIA was highly criticized for being unsafe and uneducated because of its framework
and not meeting up the standards of other FSAE/FS events internationally. Here was where
Indian „Jugaad Engineering‟ was challenged to be converted into „pure engineering‟. Some
took the ownership to perform better and started working on the same but on the other end,
number of teams rose up exponentially and the same issues continued. No successful car yet.

After nearly 10 years, in 2011, the team IIT Roorkee Motorsports developed a car and
represented India in FSAE Australasia 2011 competition held in Melbourne, Australia and
became the first ever car from India to complete the 22 km endurance race, the team also
stood 1st in Efficiency.
Over the years there were some good engineered cars going to international events like UK,
Germany & Italy. Teams like Orion Racing, Pravega racing, Formula Manipal, Raftar
Formula racing, etc raised the Indian flag internationally. Pravega Racing, Vellore was the
first team to grab awards at an international event. 3rd in Manufacturing and Cost Event, FS
Italy-2012, 2nd in Manufacturing and Cost Event, FS Italy-2013. This was just the beginning,
students of India hope to see a podium finish by an Indian team soon in the near future.
Today in 2016, the 5th season of Supra SAEINDIA with 147 teams from across India is going
to take place. Seeing the concern issues with Supra the international competition (FSAE/FS)
was also introduced to India under the name Formula Student India (FSI). The 2nd edition of
FSI at Buddh International Circuit, Greater Noida, UP showed up 47 teams which included
financially sound teams from Supra and other teams across the nation which did not
participate in Supra and participated in International Events. The event followed the strict
norms of International rulebook and proved to be a good learning experience to teams which
could not travel to these foreign destinations. After US, India is the second country to have
two such events happening in a year.

The Team:
GT Motorsports - Formula Student Team GTU is a state level collaboration between 13
colleges spread across Gujarat state. These colleges share physical and intellectual resources
by using advanced communication-technology to create a highly competitive vehicle. The
supply chain management is unique in Formula Student and very important at that point.
Team Structure:
Because the GT Motorsports Team is a co-operation of many colleges, it needs an efficient
organization structure behind it. Rather than act as competitors at the events, resources are
pooled and the skills of the colleges combined. Design, production and testing will take place
at various campuses. GT Motorsports is divided into teams including: Management,
Powertrain, Body, Aerodynamic and Suspension. These Teams are split again in different
sub-teams. These sub teams are visualized in the graph.
For this type of collaboration, it is imperative that each sub team involve students from varied
interests and use all the human resources available to meet design and manufacture deadlines.
Image 02 shows how the Team Structure was formed. Later in Images 03, 04 & 05 shows
team Members and their role in the team.

Main Event: Formula Student INDIA 2016
Buddh International Circuit, Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh:
Date: 23rd January, 2016 (Day-0)
The team visited the event site as per the schedule, registered themselves and
collected the Kit (T-shirts, Bands & Caps) provided by the event organizers. After the
registration, GT Motorsports team was allotted a pit, where in the team was supposed to set
up their car and the required tools. 29 team members of GTMS had reported on the event site.
The feeling of each member standing in the India‟s only Formula Race Track “Buddh
International Circuit” was great and was the fruitful result of their hardwork.

Everyone on site was busy helping their respective team to set up their car as well as
taking the tour of the circuit. Around 1000 students from across the country representing their
Institute were all excited and well prepared for the upcoming challenges in the form of
various events of the competition. The day ended with an Inauguration function initiated by
the organizers welcoming all the 48 teams, which were to compete amongst one another in
the coming 5 days.
Pat Clarke an official from Delta Advisory Board conducted a seminar after the
Inauguration, addressing some basic problems each team face in designing Formula Student
Car as well as some useful tips to build a well-engineered Formula Race car.
Image 08: Session by Pat Clarke
As Buddh International Circuit lies on the Yamuna Expressway far away from a
Residential area, event organizers had made the arrangements for participants stay on the site
as well. There was a huge Shade set up with number of Beds for the pre-registered
participants and Food arrangement was also made for the participants who had themselves
registered for such facility.

Date: 25th January, 2016 (Day-2)
The team worked on correcting the errors which were pointed by the tech inspectors
and later during the day, appeared again for the technical inspections. The result this time was
improvised, but there were still some minor changes which the team had to work upon before
finally clearing the technical inspections.
Problems Faced by GTMS during Second Technical Inspection Attempt:



Play in Pedal box
Metal Lock nuts instead of Nylon lock nuts in areas which are likely to be affected by
Heat easily
Safety wiring of Bolts
Solutions of the problems:


Plate was removed and Pedal box was directly mounted on the chassis
Safety wirings were made better and use of taps were made where Nylon nuts were
used so as to reduce the impact of heat.
The team was tasked to appear in the Business Case presentation during the 2nd Day
of the event @ 5:30pm. Here in, few team members are to present in front of Judges a
proposal as in to lure the investors to invest in them in order to start the production of their
car on large scale. Three members of GTMS had appeared in front of the panel of judges and
presented their Business case.
At the end of day-2, a seminar was arranged by Mr. Christoph Hhan, an engineer from
Mathworks, also a Design Judge of the event, regarding the simulations of the vehicle as well
as tips and guidelines for improving the performance and tuning of the ECU (Electronic
Control Unit) of the engine. This seminar proved to be very useful for the present participants
as ECU is a component of the car where in tuning proves to be very difficult for the students
and thus his guidance was much needed for all.

Date: 26th January, 2016 (Day-3)
The team was supposed to appear in the Design and Cost events starting from 9:00
am. The team reported to the Cost Event Bay on the scheduled time along with the Car and
the Driver. In the cost event, the team has to present in front of the judges the detail costing
of the car and have to answer the questions of the judges accurately.
Cost Event:
Team GTMS presented their cost to the judges of the event along with the unique
features of their car like Pneumatic Shifter and customised Radiator which helped them in
reducing the cost of the car along with optimizing the features as per their requirements.
Further after the presentation of the cost by the students it was now the turn of the judges to
check if the participants have considered all the minute cost details of the car. Details as
precise as cost of Bolts used in Steering Wheel to the Adhesives used to glue 3D printed
steering mountings were asked for in the cost event.
Image 12: Teams at Cost Event Bay
In addition to the cost presentation, each team is given a task of presenting a Real
Case Scenario of some particular situation provided to each team in advance. Team GTMS
was given a situation wherein they were tasked with mass production of Steering Wheels.
The team in this case were supposed to propose a Business plan where they need to specify
following details:
1. Cost of Steering Wheel
2. Return on Investment
3. Consideration of production and Manufacturing facilities.

After the Cost event, the team was supposed to go through the Design evaluation of
their car. In the design event, the motive is to check the knowledge of the students about the
design of their car. In the design event, the evaluation of the designing knowledge of
members of the team was evaluated and later the feedback was provided to the team, where
they need to focus for further improvement of the car.
Design Event:
During the design event, entire team members of GTMS were called on the Design
Event Bay so that each members can participate in this event and gain knowledge designing.
Following were the Judges present during the Designing event of GTMS:

The design of GTM16 impressed every judge and gathered many words of Praise.
After the brief analysis of the design of GTM16, the judges then discussed among themselves
and gave following feedback to the team members:
1. Include junior team members so that the legacy continues.
2. Use of simulation so as to analysis the design virtually to generate more precise
design.
3. Make vehicle more compact and ergonomically well designed.

Date: 27th January, 2016 (Day-4)
During the 4th Day of the event, the team appeared again for the Technical inspections and
finally cleared the test. All the technical aspects of the Rulebook were cleared by the car.
After clearing the Technical Inspection, the team further moved towards other tests that were
in line to clear before participating in any event.
The Car first got fuelled and weighing of the car was done. GTM16 weighed 232kg. It
further moved for the Tilt Test, where the car was made to tilt at 45deg and 60deg from the
horizontal and leaks are checked. During performing the Tilt Test, GTM16 was mounted on
the tilt table and the harness was tightened around the Main Roll hoop of the car so as to
prevent car in case of roll over. Steve Fox, an official from Power train Tech checked for the
harness and found some issue with the clip used to ensure belt being rigidly bound with the
tilt table. After about 30 mins new clips were brought and the judge was satisfied with the
safety of the car. Along with this, Steve Fox described all the present judges of Tilt test about
how to ensure proper working of the harness and safety of the car.

Finally after all the Chaos created by the defective harness was solved, tilt test was
resumed and GTM16 performed the tilt test. GTM16 was detected of no Leaks and
successfully cleared the Tilt test in the very first attempt.
Further the team moved for the Noise test, where in, the engine is fired and noise level
of the car @7500rpm is measured. The noise in any scenario should not exceed 110dbc.
GTM16 in its first attempt measured about 117dbc noise level and was not able to clear the
noise test in its first attempt. The team later, worked upon reducing the noise level of the car
and thus used the Glass wool in the Exhaust system for the same.
During the team‟s attempt to reduce the noise level, day-4 came to the end and the
team was left with their final attempt on the Final Day of the event.

Date: 28th January, 2016 (Day-5)
During the Final Day of the event, GTM16 was supposed to clear the remaining 2
tests and participate in the Dynamic event. As the team was working for clearing the Noise
Test, the team was left in utter shock and complex situation as there was noted a Breakdown
in the car where in Air Intake of the car was badly affected and was broken. The team went in
a state where clearing the tests seemed difficult, but members of GTMS didn‟t lose hope and
kept working towards repairing the breakdown of the car. It was only the result of the hard
work and dedication of the students that GTM16 got repaired well in time and was ready for
the tests.
Image 15: All Cleared and ready for Track Events
Finally, the team was all set to appear for the noise test and the team finally cleared
the Noise test successfully. Thereafter, the team rushed with the car towards clearing the final
test which was The Brake Test, where in, the car is supposed to get all its 4 wheels locked
simultaneously. GTM16 became the first car in the event to have cleared the Brake Test in
their first attempt. Finally, all the mandatory tests were cleared by the team and were ready to
participate in the Dynamic events of the competition.

GTM16 was lined up on the 4th place during the start of the Endurance event. The
Endurance race comprises of a 22km race among different cars with the track being restricted
to some 6ft and to check the driver‟s capabilities various hurdles in form of Zig-Zag pattern
were designed in the race. Each team is supposed to complete 22km run on the track in order
to successfully complete the Endurance Race. Along with that, teams are supposed to get
their driver changed after the completion of 11km.

Lessons Learnt:
1. Do not listen to people who say you can‟t do it.
2. A Motivated team can overcome highest bureaucracy.
3. Don‟t Stick with Plan A for the event site. Consider Contingencies and Keep a backup
plan ready for possible Breakdowns.
4. Stay Updated with the rulebook. There can be slight changes in the rules each time
and can cause serious damage.
5. Hard work always pays off. Don‟t lose hope till the last moment.
6. Keep the whole team intact. Stay in touch with senior members and carry along the
juniors with you.
7. Documentation. Each and every minute details should be documented and maintained
well, be it Design Decisions, Fabrication, Marketing or Management.
8. Focus evenly towards Static Events along with the Dynamic events. They can cause a
huge difference in overall Standings. This is an Engineering Design Event and not a
Motor Racing Event. Focus more on learning than Competing.
9. Practice makes a Machine Perfect. Test the Vehicle in similar track conditions. All
failures must happen in the testing phase only. More Testing will give you more data
for improvements.
10. Segregate the Cost Report into multiple parts and mark the Key Components for easy
access during the presentation.
11. Dedicate few Students for Static Events well in advance. They are Cash points no
matter how your car is, you can score maximum in this.
12. Don‟t get carried away. Follow protocols strictly and ensure safety.
13. Every part including the last NUT & BOLT must be modelled in CAD.
14. Launch Event must be decided a month in Advance. Proper management to be
ensured by the team. Don‟t miss out on any detail. Invitations to be sent in person and
follow up should be taken.
15. “Straight Trees are cut first”. Avoid Bureaucracy of any level and authority. You
might have a good intention but it can go other ways and shoot against you.

Proposed Suggestions for Future Years:

A Separate Joint A/C should be opened which is to be operated by three people.
1) Treasurer of the team.
2) Team Faculty Advisor. (Who will be able to understand the necessity and urgency
of the required item)
3) Official from GTU. (So even GTU can keep a live time track on where the money


Codify a process to import goods. Any Pro Forma Invoice from a company abroad is
valid for 2 weeks. It takes over two weeks to get approval for purchase according to
current Procedure.

Proper allocation of workspace to team members. To have a permanent place with
proper facilities boost the morale of the team working on a project. Same is the
problem with Workshop. A working workshop will be really helpful for the team to
get best out of their team members. Separate allocation of budget or prior talk to host
institute must be done for the same.

The team must be given access to a proper working Fabrication Lab which has
modern equipments like MIG/TIG Welding, Bench Drills, Alignment Bench, Basic
CNC facilities like Turning & VMC.

A Dedicated Computer Lab for the Team with PC Configurations matching the
modern needs of CAD & CAE Software. Students don‟t have such high end setups
with them.
