ABOUT THE PROJECT
Engineering Excellence

Team Vegam is a student engineering team competing in the Formula Kart Design Challenge (FKDC). We design, fabricate, and race a kart from scratch — pushing boundaries in performance, safety, and innovation.


Our kart embodies the spirit of Vegam — a Sanskrit word meaning speed. Every component is engineered with purpose, every decision driven by data, and every lap fueled by passion.
