CHAPTER 7
DESIGN VALIDATION ROUND (VIRTUAL)
NO ELIMINATION IN THE VIRTUAL ROUND

7.1 DESIGN VALIDATION ROUND (VIRTUAL) (DVR)
DVR consists of 250 points in which presentation of all the research and development
over the vehicle is to be given in front of the judges in 20 minutes (including questionnaire
round). DVR details should be uploaded at the team portal on the BFKCT website. The
prime objective is to design, analysis and documentation of the Go-kart vehicle. The
design should be complete in all aspects to the extent of being considered ready to
Manufacturing. The teams will be evaluated based on their knowledge of the basic
automotive design, analysis and documentation about the Go-Kart design and
manufacturing requirements. NO ELIMINATION IN THE VIRTUAL ROUND. Further
details/guidelines for the virtual round will be released on team login page.
Documents required for DVR
1. Vehicle Design
2. Design Report
3. Innovation Report
4. Cost Report
5. Design Validation Plan
6. Design Failure Mode Effect and Analysis (DFMEA)
7. Gantt Chart
1. VEHICLE DESIGN
The vehicle design report should contain a complete design of the vehicle including the
necessary simulations with justifying the design and performance of the vehicle.
29 | P a g e
2. DESIGN REPORT
The design report should contain design and details of all the components used in the
kart and the reason for selection of that particular component/system. Design report will
be verified with the vehicle at the time of static and dynamic event, so the design must be
done carefully. Document must be submitted in pdf format. All the teams should provide
design drafts of their vehicle upon entering the design tent. These drafts should show the
basic design views of the major components.
3. INNOVATION REPORT
The innovation will be evaluated during the Final Round. The evaluation will be done on
the basis of team interview, proper working of innovation throughout the event (in all the
dynamic tests) and the concept of the innovation. Innovations which have been already
done successfully in the field of Go Karting; will not be considered as the innovations,
teams need to come up with entirely new and unique idea of innovation with working and
not only an idea.
4. COST REPORT
The vehicle must be manufactured in the budget INR 1,00,000. Market survey of all the
components/systems used in the manufacturing of the vehicle in the form of cost report
must be submitted with the design report. The cost report should elaborate. Every
component / assembly of the vehicle must be covered in the cost report. No need of
accounting GST in the cost report. Cost excluding GST is expected in the report.
30 | P a g e
5. DESIGN VALIDATION PLAN
The design validation plan is the assurance that a product, service, or system meets the
needs of the customer and other identified stakeholders. It often involves acceptance and
suitability with external customers. All the virtual and real time tests and analysis are to
be included in the design validation plan.
6. DESIGN FAILURE MODE EFFECT AND ANALYSIS (DFMEA)
A DFMEA is often the first step of a system reliability study. It involves reviewing as many
components, assemblies, and subsystems as possible to identify failure modes, and their
causes and effects. For each component, the failure modes and their resulting effects on
the rest of the system are recorded in a specific FMEA worksheet. There are three
different types of DFMEA exists such as Functional, Design and Process. It is widely used
in development and manufacturing kart in various phases of the product life cycle
analysis.
7. GANTT CHARTS
Gantt charts illustrate the start and finish dates of Art to Part elements of the go-kart
fabrication project. This chart is basically the management of the project and distribution
of different tasks of the team members completed with stipulated time. The Gantt chart
must be attached along with the design report.
31 | P a g e
CHAPTER 8
CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND
8.1 STATIC TESTS
DESIGN REPORT VS VEHICLE ANALYSIS (Best Engineering Design and Best CAE)
The vehicle will be verified with the design report and deviations from the design report
should not be allowed until and unless completely justify with documented reasons. Same
way, BFKCT understands the student’s difficulties during the manufacturing process of
the kart. For the benefit of the students deviation up to 10% from the design report is
acceptable. Further it will lead to penalized accordingly.
MANUFACTURING LEVEL (Build Quality and Aesthetics)
Good engineering practice will lead to good manufacturing skill. The vehicle will be
examined and evaluated by the judges at the time of static and dynamic test, so the
participating teams are advised to manufacture the vehicle with pre-planned strategies so
that the vehicle would be able to compete in several tasks and tests.
DISCUSSION (QUESTIONNAIRE)
In the static test event, during evaluation and examine the vehicle, technical team may
interact with team members as individual or whole. So, the BFKCT advised the team
members to prepare kart related technical details for exhibits their talent to impress the
technical team members.
INNOVATION
The innovation planned in the vehicle to be presented in Design Validation Round

(Virtual). The presented concepts will be discussed with the team and its working will be
examined by the technical team in the respective pit of the teams. Team needs to present
innovation report at the time of explaining the innovation. The innovation should be
working and not just for the concept.
32 | P a g e
TECHNICAL INSPECTION
Before the dynamic event there will be Technical Inspection (TI) which does not carry any
points but is mandatory for participating in dynamic event. TI will be very strict based on
rulebook parameter and safety checks of the vehicle (No Deviation from rule book). The
team will be given only 2 chances for the TI test failing which the team will be considered
disqualified for the dynamic events.
BRAKE TEST VIDEO SUBMISSION
Team are required to have properly working brake system before coming to event in such
manner that all wheels should be locked after applying brake and kart must stop in straight
line.
SAFETY EQUIPMENT’S
Every team is advised to use proper safety equipment’s during manufacturing or during
any repair work carried out on site. Technical team will inspect the safety equipment’s
during Technical Inspection.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
 Vehicle lifting by hand is not allowed, every team must use jack to lift the vehicle
during repair work.
 Every member should wear proper shoes, workshop gloves and full sleeves cloths.
DRIVER EXIT TIME
Maximum driver out time is 5sec, within this interval of time driver has to come out from
the cockpit.
33 | P a g e
BUSINESS PLAN
Teams are expected to prepare a complete business plan by understanding the sector
and industry. Every team has to do the complete market survey of the same segment and
prepare the strategies to target the customers. Team has to prepare a presentation, which
has to be presented during the final round. Team has to convince the judges with their
business plan presentation. Every team has to submit the complete business plan report
in two phases. Teams are advised not to include any confidentiality agreement in the
business plan; our aim is to evaluate the concept of your business idea not to sell out your
idea in market. Preliminary report has to be submitted before the final round (Refer
chapter 1 for the submission schedule) and the final report has to be submitted on the
final round. Teams are expected to work upon the following points and prepare both the
report and the presentation accordingly;
Executive Summary: This includes the organizational structure of your

company. You need clearly define the roles for each member of the executive
board. This member will then be responsible for the same in the report to follow.
Introduction to the Company: Introduce your company and its vision and
mission statement.
Business/Company Profile: Explain your company profile in brief. Team are

encouraged to prepare the brochure of the company, which will cover the entire
details of the product.
Industry and Market Analysis: Thorough and complete survey of industry

performance of last 2 years. Market analysis for the demand of the product in
the competition. Competitor analysis should be included with the detailed
report on the same.

for the processes. Basic machining processes available in-house and the out sourced
processes. The logistics and warehousing methods used in the company. The after sales
and support proposed method also added.
Sales forecast and Strategies: The teams are required to forecast their sales
for the next five years and their strategies to achieve these sales target. If
necessary the teams can also include the spare parts sales too.
Environmental Impact: The teams are required to give a report on the
environmental impact caused due to their manufacturing activities and their
measures to reduce the impact caused. Also, the teams are required to include
an innovation to reduce the pollution caused by their vehicles.
Cost Plans: Teams are required to give a detailed cost report of their activities
for the next 5 years. The exact calculation of the breakeven period as well as
break-even quantity is a must. The capital structure of the company should be
well explained. Cost plans must include the consideration of warranty costs as
well. The costs of depreciation should also be considered.
Note: Roles and responsibilities of the company have to be distributed between minimum
of 5 members. This means, the executive board must consist of minimum 5 members.
8.2 DYNAMIC TESTS
Scoring formulas and other guidelines for the dynamic tests will be uploaded in the team
accounts.
8.3 BRAKE TEST (3 Attempts)
It’s mandatory for a vehicle to pass the brake test to participate in any of the
dynamic events. The vehicle must stop in a straight line after the brake is applied on the
vehicle and the wheels on which the brake mechanism is acting must get locked
35 | P a g e
immediately after pedal is pressed. Each vehicle will be given only 3 attempts to pass the
brake test. If any kart not clear the brake test, further the kart will be disqualified
from the event.
Vehicle dynamic stability will also be checked during this test, vehicle possessing
abnormal behavior will be checked again. The TI can be cancelled if the vehicle is found
dynamically unstable or unsafe in the Brake Test. Few frequently occurred problems are
listed below
 Abnormal noise from the transmission

 Brake squeal noise
 Unbalanced frame or frame twisting or frame vibration
 Improper wheel alignment etc.
If these issues found in the kart during the inspection, Technical Inspection will be
cancelled and chance will be provide to team to rectify it.
8.4 ACCELERATION TEST
The objective of the acceleration determines the time it takes the vehicle to accelerate
along 100 ft long on flat surface or road. Each team may make two (2) attempts same or
different drivers. Scoring will be based on the better of the two attempts. Timing may be
done using either electronic systems or stop watches.
DNF- Vehicles that have not run by the end of the event (determined by the
organizer) will receive a Did Not Finish (DNF).
36 | P a g e
8.5 SKID PAD TEST
The objective of the skid-pad event is to measure the Kart cornering ability on a flat
surface while making a constant-radius turn.
SKID PAD LAYOUT
There will be two (2) pairs of concentric circles in a figure as shown in figure (images and
dimensions sourced from SAE formula 2012) of eight pattern. The centers of these circles
will be 18.25 m apart. The inner circles will be 15.25 m in diameter, and the outer circles
will be 18.25 m in diameter. The driving path will be the 3 m path between the inner and
outer circles. The vehicles will enter and exit through gates on a 3 m wide path that is
tangential to the circles where they meet. The line between the centers of the circles
defines the start/stop line. A lap is defined as travelling around one (1) of the circles from
the start/stop line and returning to the start/stop line. According to the event venue the
skid pad layout may change as “S” and the dimensions may vary.
37 | P a g e
PROCEDURE: The vehicles will enter perpendicular to the figure eight and will take one
full lap on the right circle to establish the turn. The next lap will be on the right circle and
will be timed. Immediately following the second lap, the vehicle will enter the left circle for
the third lap. The fourth lap will be on the left circle and will be timed. Immediately upon
finishing the fourth lap, the vehicle will exit the track. The vehicle will exit at the intersection
moving in the same direction as entered. A driver has the option to take a second run
immediately after the first.
PENALTIES
CONES DOWN OR OUT: A penalty of 0.50 seconds will be added to the time for
every cone that is knocked ―down or out (including gate cones).
DNF: Vehicles that spin-out can continue as long as they have not gone off course
will be classified as DNF.
Incorrect Laps- Vehicles that do not follow procedure i.e. run an incorrect number
of laps or run the Laps in the wrong sequence will be classified as DNF.
8.6 AUTOCROSS
The objective of the autocross event is to evaluate the vehicle's manoeuvrability and
handling qualities on a tight course without the hindrance of competing vehicles. The
autocross course will combine the performance features of acceleration, braking, and
cornering into one event.
PROCEDURE: The vehicle will be staged such that the front wheels are 6 m behind the
starting line. The timer starts only after the vehicle crosses the start line. There will be no
particular order of the vehicles to run each heat. The organizer will determine the
allowable windows for each heat and retains the right to adjust for weather or technical
delays.
NOTE: Each team will get one (1) attempt only. Distance between each cone =3.5M
38 | P a g e
PENALTIES
CONES DOWN OR OUT: A penalty of 0.50 seconds will be added to the time for
every cone that is knocked ―down or out (including gate cones).
DNF: Vehicles that spin-out can continue as long as they have not gone off course
will be classified as DNF.
Incorrect Laps- Vehicles that do not follow procedure i.e. run an incorrect number
of laps or run the Laps in the wrong sequence will be classified as DNF.
8.6 WHEEL DISMANTING AND ASSEMBLY
only driver and co-driver is allowed
8.7 TIME TRAIL TEST
It will include 5 laps heat in which karts will starts laps individually by 5 seconds lag
between each kart. Teams are not allowed to work on the kart during the heat. Driver
change is not allowed during the heat. Passing another vehicle may only be done in an
established passing zone. The BFKCT have full rights to increase (or) decrease the
no of laps
8.7 ENDURANCE TEST
RIGHT TO CHANGE PROCEDURE
The following are general guidelines for conducting the endurance event. The organizers
reserve the right to establish procedures specific to the conduct of the event at the racing
circuit.
Endurance Objective: The Endurance Event is designed to evaluate the overall

performance of the vehicle and to test the vehicle’s reliability.
39 | P a g e
The BFKCT have full rights to increase (or) decrease the no of laps
Refuelling will not be allowed during an endurance heat
PROCEDURE: All the karts eligible for the endurance test will be divided into batches
(number of karts per batch will be decided on the endurance day only).. The event will be
run as a single heat approximately 21 km (10 Laps) long. Teams are not allowed to work
on their vehicles during the heat.. Wheel-to-wheel racing is prohibited. Passing another
vehicle may only be done in an established passing zone.
VEHICLE BREAKDOWN AND STALLS: If a vehicle breaks down it will be removed from
the course and will not be allowed to re-enter the course. If a vehicle stalls, or ingests a
cone, etc., it will be allowed to restart and re-enter the course where it went off, but no
work may be performed on the vehicle. If a Kart stop and cannot be restarted without
external assistance, the track workers will push the kart clear of the track. At the discretion
of event officials, two (2) team members may retrieve the kart under direction of the track
workers.
ENDURANCE MINIMUM SPEED REQUIREMENT: If a kart is unable to maintain lap

times within 135% of the fastest lap time for the course, and then it must exit immediately.
Disqualification for failure to maintain the minimum speed will be made at the discretion
of the Director of Operations.
ENDURANCE LAP TIMING: Each lap of the endurance event will be individually timed
by electronic or by stop watch. The time for an individual heat will be determined by
subtracting the extra-long lap for the driver change from the total time and adding any
penalty points.
40 | P a g e
8.5 PENALTIES
Failure to obey a flag: 1 minute
Over Driving (After a closed black flag):1 Minute
Vehicle to Vehicle contact: DISQUALIFIED
Out of Order: Running out of order – two (2) minute penalty
Mechanical Problem: No additional penalty other than the time lost to ensure that the
car is safe to continue.
Rash or Aggressive Driving: Any rash or aggressive driving behaviour (such as forcing
another car off the track, refusal to allow passing, or close driving that would cause the
likelihood of car contact) will result in a black flag for that driver. When a driver receives
a black flag signal, he must proceed to the penalty box to listen to a reprimand for his
driving behaviour. The amount of time spent in the penalty box will vary from one (1) to
four (4) minutes depending upon the severity of the offense.
Inexperienced Driver: The BFKCT organizing team may disqualify a driver if the driver
is too slow, too aggressive, or driving in a manner that, in the sole opinion of the event,
officials, demonstrates an inability to properly control their car resulting in a DNF.
