My aim was to build a team which is capable to overcome any kind of problem, through self-organization and by becoming best version of self. Primary goal was to build an open-wheeled, single seater racecar for competition purpose, by a team which worked on a well-monitored plan and executed well under a period of one year and limited budget.
