2016 combustion team
For the 2016 hybrid race season, we aim to clear the electrical scrutiny in the first shot. Clearing scrutiny would allow us to compete in dynamics events and ensure a top 5 finish at the competition. The 2016 hybrid event is scheduled to be held from 2nd to 5th of May, 2016. The 1st batch of Ashwa Racing (2005)

RZX6H
Ashwa racing We have validated the theoretical calculations with practical values that we made for the 2015 hybrid. The running X5, post event, was used for extensive data acquisition. The engine was tuned to match the current requirements so as to improve our acceleration timing by a sec. The current required for that power was acquired from the Agni95R motor performance graph. The current was measured while testing.
2016 Hybrid team
The scans of our wheel rims, cam lobes and the coordinates of our motor mounting points were obtained with the aid of a CMM. This was carried out at Meritor. As a result, we were able to design accurate motor mounts. The data obtained by the cam lobe scans of the Pulsar engine helped us to carry out 1-Dimensional analysis with the use of Ricardo Software.
