context_page_description: Team KART is a group of students from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur who like to explore the practical side of automotive engineering.
  Team KART is officially a sponsored research project under the Sponsored Research and Industrial Consultancy Cell and the department of Mechanical Engineering, IIT Kharagpur. The team designs, fabricates, manufactures and tests Formula Style race cars and represents IIT Kharagpur at various National and International events like Formula Student, Formula Student Russia and Formula Design Challenge India.
context_section_description: The KX-1 was the team's first effort to build a car. The 'X' in the name stands for an experiment as the car was the very first attempt of our complete novice team. The car was powered by a Honda CBR600RR engine which has henceforth powered all the cars prior to the K-3.
  The team participated in Formula Student, UK 2010. The participation was however limited to static events. The team stood ninth in the cost report analysis, as the car was very cost effective in its design. The team was one of the six teams to be nominated for the Airbus Teamwork Award.
