The HMCI had put up a stall at the Auto Expo and had several beauties parked there for the public to see. I think it's a nice thought to have such cars displayed where the public can not only look forward to the future, but also get a glimpse into how the past looked like - not so long ago.

Coverage: Student Projects at the Auto Expo 2018

Big shoutout to khan_sultan for shooting these pictures & his coverage of the Auto Expo. Thanks for sharing, man!

Tucked away in a corner were stalls that had very less visitors but showcased buggies/formula cars built with raw passion and desire to do something extra ordinary with limited resources.

These were stalls of colleges with automotive teams of various colleges who have build BAJA/formula spec cars and successfully taken part in various competitions. SIAM had given them space in Auto Expo to showcase their talent, cars and their passion. It was a very nice experience to see these students at the Auto Expo displaying their cars and explaining with raw passion about their college/team/car to the few visitors who ventured to that part of the halls.
