Looks good. All the best.

Formula Student competitions are quite difficult. Many Indian teams went to Italy and Germany last year. Only a few finished the endurance test.

But one of them got the most fuel efficient award in typical South Asian fashion:

That is the bad part because then they will work for making foreign countries great and only send remittance back. Pakistan need it's talent back not the money they earned.

Good work girls, but for heaven saken these are not even close to racing tyres ... Racing car does not mean 70% shape matches formula one ... but it should actually perform like one ... Nose is not aerodynamic at all ... Even front and rear tyres are of equal thickness it means it will be either sluggish on turns or will lack sufficient traction on the rear wheel required for the cars acceleration...

Disclaimer : I am not an engineer but a fan of racing machines and I know the difference between a vehcile that can perform or not ...

Engineering students have the sorriest bunch, sorry to say.

Medical and Law are neck and neck among the professional degree courses.

Cheers, Doc

Would love to know the reason they chose to use the tyres they did. Formula stipulations or just lack of slicks?

This car with same design infact with same colors was build by NUST students in Musharaf era, and they lso took it in international competitions! But nothing happened afterwards.

This is such a waste of time.

I wont be surprised if this is the same car re-branded by these women

Well done girls. Beautiful girls made beautiful cars. Cheers.

The other aspect I se in this is that this will motivate many young boys and girls in pakistan to such nice jobs. This can be a bench mark.

Do not worry. It will be a talent pool. Like many Indians are now coming back, they too may come back in future. Just let the talent grow.

Yes it will motivate many. Nust and Fast universities are doing good job in Pakistan they both are moving into practical projects.
