Subsystem

Brakes & Logistics

Ensure the car stops consistently and safely while managing the complex logistics of team transportation, shipping, and documentation.

2 Lakh+ INR in Logistics handled • 50+ Team members transported • 100% Safety & Compliance

Role & Responsibility

The Brakes & Logistics subsystem ensures the vehicle stops reliably and logistics (car and team) are handled efficiently. We design, test, and maintain hydraulic braking assemblies while managing spares, workshops, transport, and race-day logistics.

  • Design and validation of brake pedal, clutch pedal, and pedal box using CAD
  • Hydraulic system tuning for optimal front/rear brake bias
  • Thermal and structural stability of brake rotors
  • Safe transportation of team and shipping of the race car
  • Management of documentation and compliance for shipping

Safety, repeatability, and thermal performance are the primary engineering goals. We collaborate with Chassis, Electrical, and Suspension for integration.

Core Areas

The subsystem is divided into key engineering and operational domains:

  • Mechanical Braking Design: Design and validate brake pedal, clutch pedal, pedal box, and brake rotors using CAD and simulation.
  • Hydraulics & Control: Tuning brake pressure by biasing the braking force to front and rear wheels.
  • Logistics: ensuring safe transportation of the team, safe shipping of the car, and managing all required documentation.

Testing & Validation

We ensure that brake rotors lock effectively and are thermally and structurally stable. The pedal assembly is designed for driver ergonomics with zero leaks in the brake lines.

Thermal Stability

Ensuring rotors and pads perform under high-heat racing conditions.

Structural Integrity

Validating pedal box and caliper mounts against extreme braking forces.

Leak Testing

Zero-tolerance validation for hydraulic line integrity.

Logistics Compliance

Verifying all documentation and shipping protocols for zero delays.

Vision & Roadmap

We aim to build braking systems that are predictable under load, light yet robust, supported by efficient logistics processes.

  • Short-term: Design a mechanical system where the driver can change brake bias on the go.
  • Short-term: In-house design and manufacture of brake rotors.
  • Mid-term: Electronic brake bias control.
  • Long-term: Automatic brake bias and improved supplier redundancy.

We Travelled

Our team has competed globally, demonstrating engineering excellence and logistical capability across continents.
