A fairly challenging dirt track. Over 90 single-seater buggies. And a whole lot of dust!

With the Baja SAE India endurance challenge into its sixth year, the Mahindra Group organized yet another grueling 4-hour endurance race, which brought together over 120 teams from engineering colleges across the nation to the city of Indore. As per the trend every year, the event offered up a unique competition for young undergraduate engineering students wherein the participants are to design, develop and build single-seater off-roaders completely from ground up.

Spread over a course of three days, the Baja SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) allows teams to showcase their prototype of a rugged single seater, four-wheel off-road vehicle. The vehicles are then evaluated on various parameters, including engineering design, cost and technology innovation. The primary objective of the competition is to replicate real world engineering design projects and the challenges that come with it. The purpose, therefore, is to build a safe, rugged, easily maintained and fun to drive prototype without any sort of expertise from professional fabricators.
