EVENT WRITEUP
Over the years Baja has grown in popularity and has become a bigger event nationally. It serves as a
platform for young engineering talent to showcase their skills and acquire a real life experience while
overcoming obstacles and challenges. The Baja SAE Series is an event for the undergraduate
engineering students, organized globally by the Society of Automotive Engineers, USA. The event,
which is in its 12th edition this year, tasks students to conceptualize, design, build, test and validate a
single-seater four-wheeled all-terrain vehicle to take part in events that aim to test their endurance.
The off-road buggies that make the final cut are put through a ton of punishing events at NATRAX
(National Automotive Test Tracks), Pithampur near Indore. Team Redline Racing from Rajalakshmi
Engineering College, Thandalam made a breakthrough by reaching the final endurance run and the
dynamic events such as maneuverability and acceleration after 11 long years. Ever since their last
podium finish in the year 2008 with Team Isotopes,the college racing team had been having a hard
time to secure a spot in the endurance run. The team this year had burnt the midnight oil and this has
certainly provided them scintillating results. The team successfully completed 12 laps of endurance
without any breakdowns and earned an overall rank of 65 out of 120 teams. The team also saw success
in the static events by being in the top 50 spots. Hurdles have made the team stronger and their
hunger for perfection has certainly helped them in their goal to race victorious.
