Formula Manipal has been featured in the November issue of Business Standards Motoring, one of the country’s most read automobile magazines. The fact that the article (writen by a team member) got the go-ahead from the editors of the magazine is a testament to the significance of the project on a national level. The article covers two pages, with one page devoted only for a large photograph of the car. This proves that we do deliver when we talk about nation-wide exposure to our sponsors. To see the article click on the picture, or even better, grab a copy of this month’s magazine and check it out for yourself.

With just two months into the 2010 season ,we already have a few notable sponsors . For the first time,  an international company is sponsoring us – Lemo from Germany.

Also recently the FM09 was displayed at the Aerofest 2009 held at our college which was organized by NAL (National Aerospace Laboratories),Bangalore.Team members had a chance to learn about the latest research projects at NAL and got to interact with some of the scientists.There was a lot of discussion on aerodynamics related to race car design but was it enough to convince us to have wings for FM-X ?
