Students at IIT Madras have developed an Electric Formula Racing Car, in a significant improvement over the earlier racing car developed by them with a combustible engine.
Formula racing is any of several forms of open-wheeled single-seater motorsport, the most popular of which is Formula One, with annual Grand Prixes held in venues across the world.
Team Raftar, a 45-member interdisciplinary team of students at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras, had worked for more than a year on the design, manufacture and testing process of the vehicle called RF23.
Team Raftar says it expects to achieve significant improvement in acceleration, speed and lap time with the new vehicle.
