LAHORE (PR) - Students from NUST-PNEC have formulated a team Formula NUST, which is in the process of building a formula race car to compete at the Formula Student event in United Kingdom this summer.
Formula student is an annual educational motorsports competition held under the mentorship of Institute of mechanical engineers (Imeche) in collaboration with society of automotive engineers (SAE). As premiere motorsports engineering competition of the world and it attracts students from the best engineering universities of the world who then design, build and race their cars. It is backed by industry and high profile engineers. The competition aims to inspire and develop enterprising and innovative young engineers.
Team Formula NUST has taken up the mantle of ensuring that Pakistan also lines up at the grid in this year’s competition. For this purpose, they have been working diligently on this project for the past year and are now currently in the process of manufacturing a Formula Student race car.
High-end engineering is virtually non-existent in Pakistan and no team from Pakistan has yet participated in this event. Participation in this competition will have Pakistan rub shoulders with the leading engineering nations of the world.
The students from NUST through this endeavour aim to project a positive image of nation and aim to establish Pakistan as a serious competitor in the field of engineering.
