Team Story
Very little is known about “the founders.”
The picture shows 30 students, but only 10 names are known at this time.
Paramvir built a racecar frame out of foam pipe insulation.
The team was able to secure a small shop and a beautiful TIG welder.
This team designed the frame geometry, suspension geometry and wheel base for the first race car, which would be built the following year.
