Drift Racing Team, NIT Jamshedpur

Drift started as a fragile plant in the summers of 2009. It was the insight of a few innovative engineers from the National Institute of Technology, Jamshedpur who came forward and put up their dreams of speed into Formula student racing team, The Drift Racing team.
Drift was never a strictly mechanical project rather the team grew on the basis of "interest" and took up "designing as a passion". 9 members from mechanical, electrical, metallurgy, civil and electronics departments took up the team to represent the institute into the first ever formula SAE India Design challenge in December 2009. The red speedster which was named DR110 performed wonders by winning the "best designed vehicle" award along with the overall 2nd runners up.
The team with high spirits participate in the Formula SAE Australasia 2010 competition, where again Drift made history by becoming the 2nd ever Indian team in history of formula SAE to win an event. The team stood 1st in the Cost event.
Again, the team showed its mettle by designing and manufacturing it's second car against all odds for Formula Student UK, Jul 2011. The team came 5th in Airbus Teamwork Award among 133 teams from all over the world.
Now Drfit Racing team aims at bringing laurals to the institute and country by competing in the coming formula student UK in Jul 2012.
It is just the support of sponsors and institute that is needed to fulfil our dreams and make the country proud.
