HISTORY
When you think of car racing, you probably think of waving flags in air and magnificent racetracks but in Baja SAE Teams, that’s not the kind of racing you find. This is all about rough terrain tracks, may this include climbing hills, bumpy rocks, muddy bowls, slippery roads and sharp cornering turns. You are going over drops, over rocks, going over creeks, skidding around the tracks, It’s so much fun.
"The legacy is born from a dream
It takes strength, courage & wisdom to build it."
Introduction: TEAM ARYANS was founded back in 2011 by a group of aspiring auto enthusiasts from college who thought out of the box and went off the road. What defines our team is the legacy of past 7 competitions of BAJA racing. It is a team fueled by passion and driven by desire, one that has grown in its strength ever since its inception. Knowing that we started with just a bunch of pieces of metal that looked like nothing, and all of a sudden, we have a car that drives around--that's a really, really great experience while working in a team.
2011
Team Aryans made its debut in the Baja in 2011 in the captaincy of Gaurav Kulkarni. A sturdy raw vehicle was built by Aryans. They were new to everything, techniques, rules, processes, sponsorships, marketing. Tackling all the problems together and making best out of all the resources they got, there stood a vehicle strong and sturdy. With the knowledge, they also learned what is a team spirit and a close experience with the industries. Their experiences are priceless. Little did they knew that they were starting a legacy of Aryans that would not be just a team but a family, where many young minds would learn and pursue their dreams.

2016
In this year the team participated in two events ESI (Enduro Student India) and BAJA SAEINDIA at Pithampur, Indore. The team was led by the captainship of Vinit Vishwakarma. The team passionately manufactured and fabricated ATV named Rohak. In 'Rohak' for the very first time cutting brakes were used. Stock Polaris coil spring suspension was replaced by fox float 3 air shocks which resulted in improved cornering performance and less rolling of the vehicle. Additionally, the unsprung mass was reduced for better handling. CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) with custom gearbox was utilized for step-less acceleration and reduction in power loss. Further provided less fatigue to the driver.
