There are lots of challenges we do face in our life. But the challenges we face while pursuing ambitions are the ones which we cannot forget. I had experienced such challenge during my engineering. I was a part of formula student team. In this we had to make a formula type race car. We were a team of 25 all budding engineers. Each and everyone from the team was passionate to set a benchmark in the competition for our college. In this competition we have to design, do analysis and manufacture the car in our own. We worked for a year investing time, efforts, money sacrificing our sleep and we built a good competitive race car. It seemed like all efforts we took were paid off. We tested it rigorously. We could not perform well for 2 years before that event. After seeing car performing well we got confidence that we could definitely survive in the competition. But then during the day of shipping car we were testing our car in the morning and out of nowhere due to suspension failure car met with an accident with major damage in rear right wheel assembly and wishbones. In Suspension designing and manufacturing we have to be careful and one could not manufacture it in a day. But we had no option. We had to manufacture it again in few hours. At that time team really worked very hard and we could manufacture the wishbones again. We could not attach it to the car because we had to work on wheel assembly. After shipping the car we had 3 days before we leave for competition. In those three days we worked on wheel assembly and made it ready to assemble in the car. After reaching to Buddh International Circuit, we unloaded the car and assembled the wishbone and wheel assembly and found it to be 3 inches offset. Still team did not lose the hope and we remanufactured it overnight. Due to the lack of time we could not complete the dynamic events. For that event we stood 27th in the competition. But we knew that we had a car for which we could not lose hopes. So we took a decision to participate in another competition. We participated in that competition and secured 3rd overall rank with 1st in cost presentation and 2nd in Acceleration test. We knew that we could had done it better and we did it when we got next opportunity.
