Section A
What is Indian Society of New Era Engineers?
Indian Society of New Era Engineers is an organization focusing on the
technical and managerial development of future engineers. It gives
opportunity to the undergraduate and diploma engineers to research and
develop innovative projects. Knowledge is limited, imagination encircles
the world. We inspire them to imagine because imagination is more important
than knowledge. Design Challenges organized by ISNEE provides students a
panorama to work as team and allows them to commit and dedicate to
demonstrate and prove their creativity in real engineering. Any student can
be theoretically strong but practicality is very much different from the
theoretical world. Commitment unlocks the doors of imagination, allows
vision, and gives us the right stuff to turn our dreams into reality.
We aim to build a bridge between imagination of the student and the real
engineering through design challenges, Training and Research programs. When
a team works for any project, they learn to research, develop and manage
various things related to the project which prepares them to join the
industry as a complete professional and having a good knowledge of
engineering and management.
What is QUAD-TORC?
QUADTORC is QUAD-The Off Road Championship. Quad is an all-terrain
vehicle (a four-wheeler bike), which was initially developed as a farm-totown vehicle in isolated and mountainous areas. This competition is
basically to design and fabricate a QUAD with some rules and regulations
specified in this MANUAL. The vehicle and associated documentation must be
researched, designed and fabricated by the team members without direct
/indirect involvement of professional engineers, faculty or professionals
in the off-road and racing. Vehicles, which have been professionally
fabricated, may be penalized or even disqualified from the competition. The
decision of the organizing committee in this regard will be final. Since
Quad Torc is a motor sports design challenge and there are several risks
involved in the competition; the participating team and respective college
has to bear every applicable obligation and liability of the losses
happening to the man or machine.

to restart the engine. If restarts are not accomplished within the above
times, the car will be deemed disabled and scored DNF for the heat.
Driver Changing Procedure- Elapsed time will begin when Driver A enters the
course and crosses the timing line. Driver A will drive for one (1) hour,
and pull into driver change area where this change will take place.
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 car stalls and cannot be restarted without external
assistance, the track workers will push the car clear of the track. At the
discretion of event officials, two (2) team members may retrieve the car
under direction of the track workers.
Endurance Minimum Speed Requirement- If a car is unable to maintain lap
times within 133% 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 either by electronic means, or by hand. 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.
PenaltiesQT17 Manual [updated on 10/09/16]
P a g e | 41
Off Course- for an OC, the driver must re-enter the track at or
prior to the missed gate or a twenty 2points penalty will be
assessed.
Penalties for Moving Violations violating
Failure to obey a flag: 6 points
Over Driving (After a closed black flag): 6 points
Vehicle to Vehicle contact: DISQUALIFIED
Out of Order- Running out of order 12 points penalty
Mechanical Problem- No additional penalty other than the time
lost to ensure that the car is safe to continue
Reckless or Aggressive Driving- Any reckless 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 6 to 18 points depending upon the severity of
the offense.
Inexperienced Driver- the Event In charge 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.
Poor Fuel Economy- Mileage exceeding 1 litres/25 km
NOTE- The score for the Endurance Event is the sum of the Endurance Time
Score and the Endurance Finish Score. The Endurance Time Score is based on
the team's time for event, including penalties, compared to the fastest
team. A vehicle will also receive an Endurance Finish Score of twenty five
(25) points if the team's time for the event, including penalties, is less
than or equal to the maximum allotted time. The total Endurance Score is
calculated using the formula
Endurance Score Formula

Endurance test = 200x [(TlongestTyours)/ (TlongestTshortest)]

NOTE- Tlongest will be 1.333 times the Tshortest
P a g e | 42
Fuel Economy- The fuel economy score is based on the average litres per
kilometre fuel economy obtained during the endurance heat.
Fuel Economy Score FormulaIf Vyour is less than Vmax then the following equation will be used to
determine the fuel economy score:
Fuel Economy Score = 100 X [(VmaxVyours)/ (VmaxVmin)]

NOTE- Vmax is equal to 5 litres and will be adjusted to represent 1

litres/30 km if the course is shortened or lengthened. In case, if Vyour is
greater than Vmax then 0 points will be given to the performing vehicle.
