1.1 IKRC Competition Objective
IKRC challenges teams of university undergraduate and graduate students to
conceive, design, fabricate, develop and compete with karts that are solely developed
by student teams.
To give teams the maximum design flexibility and the freedom to express their
creativity and imaginations. There are very few restrictions on the overall vehicle
design. The challenge to teams is to develop a vehicle that can successfully compete
in all the events described in the IKRC Rules. The competitions themselves give
teams the chance to demonstrate and prove both their creativity and their engineering
skills in comparison to teams from other universities in India.
Vehicle Design Objectives for the purpose of the IKRC competition, teams are to
assume that they work for a design firm that is designing, fabricating, testing and
demonstrating a prototype vehicle for the non-professional, weekend, competition
market.
The vehicle should have high performance in terms of acceleration, braking and
handling and be sufficiently durable to successfully complete in all the events
described in the IKRC Rules.
Each design will be judged and evaluated against other competing designs to
determine the best overall car.
