Testimonials:
“The event was a huge eye-opener for us.”
The vehicle review program offered by Formula Bharat proved invaluable, particularly for teams new to the technical inspection process at competitions. We directly benefited from this program. It provided crucial insights into the accumulator and electrical inspection procedures, highlighting specific areas of concern within our vehicle. We have constructively incorporated this feedback into our design and development process, actively working to address the identified issues and ensure our car is fully competition-ready.
We, at Stier Racing had an online review of our Formula Student EV on 28th December by a team of scrutineers at Formula Bharat – Mr. Jishant Shah, Mr. Ronak Singh and Mr. Venkatesh Sathish. Overall, the review session went pretty well. Helpful insights and constructive criticism was provided to the team by the scrutineers, and all of the team’s doubts were clarified as well. The team is very grateful to have had this review session, as clarity has been gained for changes required for the upcoming competition. We thank the Formula Bharat Team for providing us with this insightful review session.
The vehicle review session has been incredibly helpful, providing us with much-needed clarity regarding the inspection process. It has allowed us to identify and address areas for improvement more effectively. We strongly encourage other teams to participate in this initiative and make the most of it.
The vehicle review program was quite helpful, especially during a crucial time just weeks before the competition. It provided us with valuable insights and tips to address key aspects of the car, ensuring we are well-prepared to clear the technical inspection smoothly. The session was highly informative, and we truly appreciate it.

Pi-EV (FSEV Concept Challenge) will be discontinued.
Pi-EV 2024 was the 8th season of Pi-EV, formerly known as the FSEV Concept Challenge. The event began in 2018 and over these 8 seasons, it has seen an overall participation of 150 teams. The event has helped and provided feedback to plan & conceptualize all these teams vehicles, preparing them for full-fledged Formula Student competitions.
However, as all good things must come to an end, so the organizing team has decided that this will be the last season for Pi-EV. The event will be discontinued due to the evolving focus in the Formula Student landscape, the need to redirect our resources towards new and practical initiatives, and our commitment to adapting to the changing educational and industry demands.
With this, we would like to thank each and every one of you for being a part of Pi-EV’s journey. Your participation, enthusiasm, and hard work have made these past eight seasons truly memorable.
