My first post here

Hello everyone!
It’s been a while that I’ve been considering starting to write here. Thanks to the pandemic that I’ve finally taken this step.

I'm Kevin, 20, an avid offroad automotive enthusiast. I'm pursuing my bachelors degree in Production Engineering from Pune. I've been a part of an offroad motorsport club in my college called 'Team Predators Racing', we would participate annually in an event called BAJA organized by SAEINDIA wherein undergraduates are tasked to build an ATV all by themselves without any college faculty involvement.



We had consecutively been a top team in India beating participating teams all across the country (MIT, NITs, IITs, government colleges, etc) and even competing with international teams that participate (University of Rochester, University of Michigan, University of Cornell,etc). In 2019 we took a step forward and participated in BAJA USA organized by SAE INTERNATIONAL, we ranked 11th globally, 1st in acceleration globally yet 3rd in the cost event while being crowned for building the lightest vehicle across Asia. This year again we participated in BAJA SAEINDIA 2020 and secured the first position overall, also being awarded 1st in acceleration we had built the lightest vehicle in India weighing just 122.6 kgs along with the 1st Raftaar, CAE and Durability awards.

I’ve been owning a Swift VDI since 2011. Been an avid enthusiast when it comes to performance mods since then, no mods on my swift yet though. Love formula drift.
Looking forward to meeting some people with similar interests here.
Cheers!
