"It was our dream to win the national championship for which we have been thriving for three years. Our first achievement was in the year 2009 and 2010 when we won the race organized by BAJA at Indore and we were placed all over third using a all terrain vehicle which can move on sandy and muddy surfaces." Formula 800 got to be the best excelvation and also for hill climbing of 45 degrees. "We used Maruti 800 engine which is a big risk as playing with the car's engine can complicate things. The built up of the car should be aerodynamically friendly and the centre of gravity should be beneath the driver. We worked on the steering as well. We designed it which had 240 degree left lock and right lock and it just takes a turn in one move of the steer." Aum had a great passion for motor sports from his childhood days. He made movable objects using motors and had a great passion for car racing which has brought his dedication to this level.
