context_page_description: DJS Racing is a formula-student racecar design team from Dwarkadas J. Sanghvi College of Engineering. The team is currently based in Vile Parle, Mumbai, India and was conceptually founded in 2012 with the purpose to represent its university at the international Formula Student and national Formula Bharat competitions.
  The team went on to make its first international appearance at the Formula Student Germany competition in 2014. It has won a total of three international titles and six national titles from 2014-2020. DJSR has become one of the most successful Indian teams in recent Formula Student history, being the best overall ranked Indian team in FSG17 and the only Indian team to have designed and manufactured 2 cars in the 2018-19 season. It hence became the first Indian Team to participate in Formula Bharat in the electric, as well as combustion category. It was bestowed the special recognition, "Never Give Up" award in FSG19.
  The competition requires students to use their engineering concepts to design and manufacture a single-seater high performance race car in the most cost efficient manner and the team designs and manufactures at least one model every year.
context_section_description: The DJSR 02 was built using a KTM Duke 390 engine, with the aim of reducing weight and thus boosting accelerating capability. The second prototype weighed just under 200 kilograms, achieving a 30% weight reduction over the previous variant. With this car the team competed at Formula Student India 2016, securing a 6th position overall despite being a first-year team at the competition. The all-inclusive transmission and suspension design, along with the compact packaging of the car, led the team to securing a coveted 4th position in the design finals. The team's well-maintained finances and budgeting resulted in the team placing 2nd in the cost event. DJSR 02 was among 9 teams who competed in the endurance event. The judges acclaimed the team's design methodology and saw great potential in the team.
