WHO ARE WE?
OUR TEAM
Team Chimera is a Student Design Team involved in the design and
development of formula style hybrid and electric race cars. The prototypes
developed, participate in the Formula SAE series held all over the world.
Started in the year 2006, the team has been consistently involved in research
and development of hybrid and electric automotive technology.
ONGOING PROJECT
The team is now completely focusing on the project, where an electric formula
car is being built from the scratch. This car will be participating in the Electric
category of Formula Bharat 2019 and Student Formula Japan 2019.

THE EVENT
FSAE
In this competition, students themselves organize a team to plan, design and
produce a small formula-style racing car. However, the competition focuses on
the overall activities surrounding object creation; in other words, not only the
running performance, but also the car concept and design, as well as cost and
other aspects of the vehicle. While creating their cars, students acquire a wide
range of practical knowledge not limited to only machinery and electronics, and
also strive to increase performance, reduce costs, and improve the
marketability of their vehicle. This in turn sharpens their ability to self-identify
and resolve problems－skills that are nowadays expected of young engineers
and students.
The events involve two main parts, namely, static events and dynamic events.
Static events include the following
1. Design Presentation - Where the team showcases the technical aspects of
the prototype and how the car is unique compared to the competition.
2. Cost evaluation - Where the team prepares a detailed report of how much it
would cost to produce the prototype. Here the focus is not only on keeping the
cost low, but also on accurate cost estimation for each and every component of
the prototype.
3. Business Presentation - Where the team sells the prototype to a
manufacturer. The team provides details of how they plan to market the
product, show their business development plans and sustainability reports.
The dynamic events test the car in action. The events are
1. Acceleration.
2. Skid pad.
3. Autocross.
4. Endurance.
