= Camber Racing = SRM IST, Chennai's Formula Student combustion team is Camber Racing. The team began in 2009, when a couple of young engineers decided to make their dreams a reality by constructing the first prototype, the "CR800." There was no turning back since then. Nine automobiles, 26 honours, and two National Championships.

The squad is made up of dedicated Undergraduate students from diverse disciplines who are given an opportunity to put their skills to the test. In the last glorious decade, the team has competed in several major events such as Formula Student Germany, Formula Bharat and Supra SAE India in the Combustion class.Our team's mission is to produce individuals who are not only capable of designing and constructing a race car, but also of working in a team, managing projects, and planning resources, all of which will help them become better engineers in the future.

History
Camber Racing is the official Formula Student Combustion team of SRMIST, Kattankulathur. The team was established in 2009 by a group of young, talented and aspired engineers decided to turn their dreams into reality with blossoming minds and went on to create the first stepping stone in the history of Camber racing “CR800”, the first prototype and entered the vast ocean of motorsport engineering and went down to brass tracks with flying colour. Since then, there has been no looking back. This was a car which was built from whatever scrap material the team could find in and around the University and unveiled it publicly at SRM University’s biggest national cultural fest " MILAN 2011 ", March.

The team comprises of passionate UG students from various disciplines and gives them a platform to apply and test their skills to the fullest. The team participates in the Formula Student, the largest design Engineering competition sanctioned by the society of Automobile Engineers (SAE) where student teams from around the world design, build, test and race a small-scale formula style racing car. Pushkar Venkat Narayan, the first team captain of Camber Racing in 2011 who initiated a great legacy followed by Preetham Reddy, Phani Chebiyyam, Prashanth Kumar, BVN Madhu, Anil Kumar, Saiduth Ramesh, Kunal Kakkar, Gautam Kavuri, Kshitji Singh.

LJM01 the successor for the first car and prototype CR800, meant embarking upon the way of professionalism and success, with this it became the Official Supra SAE display vehicle at the 16thAPAC. The team bagged 2nd place in the Marketing presentation and 24th Place Overall, which is like a first step towards a great journey. Then with the “Beast”, 3-cylindered engine & Suzuki f8B with a detailed review of the errors committed on LJM01 the design team made a great effort, modelling and assembling the most intricate components headed by Preetham bagged 1st place overall, 2nd in Endurance, 2nd in Autocros, 2nd in Skidpad, 5th in Acceleration and created a milestone in the history of the team.

Gaining the much need experience from the victory of Beast, “CR14” the next vehicle of the team which is light and compact with a high power to weight ratio. The team participated in SUPRA SAE INDIA,2014 and secured 2nd Place in Endurance, 1st place in Fuel Efficiency, 1st place in skidpad and bagged 1st place in the overall forma which proved the capability of the team which was achieved from many sleepless nights of upcoming Engineers of the team.

Then with CR15, with carbon fibre reinforced bodyworks designed for 2015-16 season, showed its fortitude in Formula Student Germany,2015 under the captaincy of Prashanth Kumar by being the only Indian Team on track for the dynamic events.

The team also participated in Formula Student India,2016 with this vehicle and bagged the runner-up position along with 3rd in Endurance, 2nd in skidpad, 2nd in autocross, 2nd in acceleration, 3rd in fuel efficiency, 2nd in business plan presentation, 2nd in design team event and best tech ready team title. The season 2016-17, with pride of participating in FSG 15 the team went all out to put their learning to practice and made CR-16 which was also equipped with team’s first Aero kit.

The team fared well in Formula Bharat 2017 by securing 3rd place Overall along with 2nd place in design event, 2nd place in cost event led by BVN Madhu. Then moving high, the team with “CR-18”, which was built upon the idea of performance and speed and was the team’s first turbo charged car. It made a breakthrough by becoming the fastest car at Supra 18, clocking 5.4 seconds in the acceleration event and bagged first place at Supra SAE India 2018. It was the well-planned hard-core effort of Saiduth Ramesh and team the 10th edition of the team saw the built of a masterpiece in 2019 namely ‘CR-X’. It was not only of the lightest cars in the event but also the fastest among the ‘single cylinder’ engines.

The team once again continued the acceleration legacy of SUPRA SAE 2018 at Formula Bharat 2019 with acceleration times, 5.038 seconds. The team bagged 3rd place in design event with its carbon fibre reinforced works and TIG Welded Tubular Spaceframe Chassis and 2nd place in business plan presentation.

CR800 (2010)
Since we had no earlier experience of manufacturing a race car, we first decided to get that out of the way by coming up with a prototype vehicle. We wanted to avoid the situation of turning up at the competition with the first car we collectively built. Thus came into existence the CR800, our first prototype. This was a car which was built from whatever scrap material we could find in and around the University. The team went down to brass tacks and we entered the vast ocean that is motorsport engineering! The CR800 was the first big success we had and we unveiled it publically at SRM University’s biggest national cultural fest ‘Milan 2011’ in March in front of 2000+ people. We generated a lot of interest during this event post the launch.
