Black Mamba Racing is a team comprising of a group of students from National Institute of Technology, Rourkela (NIT, Rourkela) who like to explore the practical side of automotive engineering. It is NIT, Rourkela's official entry to BAJA SAEINDIA, intercollegiate design competition run by SAE India. The team designs, fabricates, manufactures and tests ATV's and represents NIT Rourkela at BAJA SAEINDIA.

History
Its foundation was laid in 2010. It was an outcome of efforts of few enthusiastic founding members and faculty advisers. The team took a solid form with the support of Prof. S.K.Sarangi(present Director, NIT Rourkela) and Prof. S.Murugan (Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, NIT Rourkela). Ashrit Das became the first Team Leader and stirred the team through the difficult initial stages where the team faced shortage of funds and technical knowledge. Since then, it has grown to become NIT Rourkela's largest student project encompassing 26 students from 5 different departments. Till date the team has successfully made four cars. The latest car, Balck Mamba 4, competed at BAJA SAEINDIA 2013

BAJA SAEINDIA
BAJA SAEINDIA is India's most established educational motorsport competition,run by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). Universities from across India are challenged to design and build a single-seat All Terrain Vehicle (ATV) in order to compete in static and dynamic events, which demonstrate their understanding and test the performance of the vehicle. The format of the event is such that it provides an ideal opportunity for the students to demonstrate and improve their capabilities to deliver a complex and integrated product in the demanding environment of a motorsport competition.
