At the ultimate karting showdown, arranged by Galgotias University and ISIEINDIA, racers are prepared for battle at Buddh International Circuit.
The Indian Karting Race and Formula Imperial 2024 concluded with a resounding success at the legendary Buddh International Circuit, leaving a trail of excitement, innovation, and fierce competition in its wake. Organized by Galgotias University in partnership with ISIEINDIA, the event was a week-long celebration of engineering brilliance, where students from some of India’s top engineering institutions battled it out on the racetrack in both the combustion and electric vehicle categories.
It was a spectacle of speed, skill, and technical expertise, as teams from across the country came together to bring their engineering dreams to life. The event showcased the fusion of academic knowledge and real-world challenges, with students designing and racing vehicles powered by cutting-edge technology. The air was thick with anticipation, and the roar of engines echoed across the circuit, as young engineers pushed their creations to the limit, proving their mettle in a competitive arena that tested both their technical knowledge and driving prowess.
The highlight of the event was the impressive showing of teams in the Karting Race. In the combustion vehicle category, Team Deuce Racers from LPU Punjab emerged as the champions, demonstrating both speed and engineering excellence. Their closest competitors, Team Hawks 9.5 from Yashwantrao Chavan College of Engineering in Nagpur, gave a commendable performance to finish as runners-up. Meanwhile, the electric vehicle category witnessed Team Voltrons, also from LPU Punjab, clinching the top spot, followed closely by Team Niyudrath Karting from MIT Pune, who put on an equally thrilling show of electric engineering and racing skill.
Formula Imperial 2024, the prestigious automotive engineering challenge, added another layer of intensity to the event. Team Screw Drivers from Dhole Patil College of Engineering in Pune drove their way to victory, taking home the championship title. Team Ashwamadh from NK Orchid College of Engineering in Solapur put up a spirited fight, earning the runner-up position after a hard-fought competition.
The event served as a true testament to the power of innovation and excellence, pushing the boundaries of what young engineers can achieve when provided with the right platform. It wasn’t just about the competition; it was about transforming classroom knowledge into real-world applications. Students took on the challenge of designing, developing, and racing their own vehicles, applying concepts they had studied within the confines of their lecture halls and laboratories to the fast-paced environment of motorsports.
The impact of this event went far beyond the racetrack. Speaking at the closing ceremony, Dr. Dhruv Galgotia, CEO of Galgotias University, expressed his immense pride in the accomplishments of the participants and the event’s role in shaping the future of engineering in India. “At Galgotias University, we are committed to creating platforms that challenge students beyond traditional academics. Events like the Indian Karting Race and Formula Imperial, along with hackathons and innovation contests, provide the opportunities that today’s students need. These events give them the chance to apply and grow their learning in ways that a classroom cannot fully provide. It’s in these moments of challenge, competition, and collaboration that true learning happens, and students are prepared for the dynamic future of engineering and technology,” he remarked, beaming with optimism.
