“I could not find the sports car of my dreams anywhere.

So I built it myself”

-Ferdinand Porsche

The concept behind FORMULA SAE:

“A fictional manufacturing company has contracted a student design team to develop a

small Formula-style race car. The prototype race car is to be evaluated for its potential as a

production item. The target marketing group for the race car is the non-professional weekend

autocross racer.”

Pravega is the Sanskrit word for “High Speed”. Pravega Racing is a team of

budding engineers from VIT University, participating in the Formula SAE events

held at any one of the 7 places all over the world. The team was put together in

2008 and since then we have been striving to grow and learn.

Every year, the recruitment of new members is conducted by testing the practical and

technical skills of aspirants, followed by interviews by seniors and the faculty.

Journey so far...
