Even though we finished 57th in the overall ranking we learnt what to do and what not.The competition was held for 3 days. We were one of the first teams to clear the technical inspection and the braking test in the first attempt itself. Then in the acceleration test we covered 150ft in a respectable time of 8.14seconds. Then came the manouviring test where we took 2min. After that came the most difficult hill climbing test which we covered in 31seconds. During these performance we were among the top 30 finish.But unfortunately the engine failed on the final day due to heavy sand. The airfilter and the carburetor was filled with mud leaving us stranded for the final race thus loosing 400 crucial points. But then we had a good learning experience about how to make a car.I would to thank the officials of Ford Motors and TI Pipes India Ltd for helping us through out the building phase.
