The formula-style race cars are completely built by the college students based on the parameters defined in the rule book released by SUPRA SAEIndia. The engine displacement limit has been capped at 610cc which makes the KTM 373cc engine and the Royal Enfield UCE motor the prime choices of the participating teams. Each team performs minor modifications in the vehicles based on the inputs given by expert teams at the event. While most cars at the event used normal road tyres, some of the race cars were flaunting racing slicks.

The endurance run, as the name suggests, is designed to test the durability of the race cars. The 27 shortlisted teams had to complete 10 laps of a part of the track at Buddh International Circuit, Greater Noida and the best lap timing was considered for those cars which successfully completed the run. The endurance run was divided into two rounds, with 14 teams competing in the first and the remaining 13 teams fighting it out in the second round.
The endurance run was followed by a valedictory ceremony where the winning teams in various rounds were announced. Team Kratos Racing was the overall winner in the event and received a cash price of Rs. 2 lakhs along with other awards for best performance in several static and dynamic tests.
