About Organization and Formula Green
“ISNEE”- Indian Society of New Era Engineers works for students

to uplift their competence and formulating them to be better
professionals. We strive to be the best and give each and every
undergraduate and diploma engineer chance to develop innovative
projects. Knowledge is limited; imagination encircles the world.
Thus we instigate our aspirants to imagine because we recognize
imagination bigger than knowledge.
Design Challenges structured by ISNEE give every individual a

chance to work in a team (by forming) for a common goal with
zeal to be best to demonstrate and prove their creativity and
their engineering skills.
Commitment unlocks the doors of imagination, allows vision, and

gives us the right stuff to turn our dreams into reality .We
make a bridge which connects the imaginations of students to
practical engineering. 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.
In short we aim to be best and give best to the country and you.

2.2.5. Endurance and Efficiency - The following are general

guidelines for conducting the endurance and efficiency event.
The organizers reserve the right to establish procedures
specific to the conduct of the event at the site.
Endurance Objective (200 points) - The Endurance Event is

designed to evaluate the overall performance of the vehicle and
to test the vehicle’s reliability.
Efficiency test (150 points) - The efficiency test is based on

the amount of energy consumed during the endurance heat.
Course speeds can be estimated by the following course

specifications. Average speed should be 45 km/hr to 55 km/hr
with top speeds of approximately 70 km/hr.
Procedure- The event will be run as a single heat approximately

27.6 km (12 Laps) long. Teams are not allowed to work on their
vehicles during the heat. A driver change can be made during a
two (2) minute period at the midpoint of the heat. Wheel-to-
wheel racing is prohibited. Passing another vehicle may only be
done in an established passing zone.
Vehicle Starting/Restarting-The vehicle must be capable of

starting / restarting without external assistance at all times
once the vehicle has begun the heat. If a vehicle stalls out on
the track, it will be allowed one (1) lap by the car that is
following it (approximately one (1) minute) to restart. If a
vehicle has a restart problem at the end of Driver Change, it
will be allowed a further two (2) minutes to restart the motor.
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 half of the total laps (6), and pull into the driver

2nd FORMULA GREEN
change area Two (2) minutes are allowed for the team to change
drivers.
Driver 1 will exit the vehicle and any necessary adjustments

will be made to the vehicle to fit Driver B (seat cushions,
pedal position, etc.). Only three (3) team members, including
the driver or drivers, will be allowed in the driver change
area, and only the tools necessary to change drivers and/or
tires will be carried into this area (no tool chests etc.).
Extra people entering the driver change area will result in a 20
point penalty to the final endurance score for each extra person
entering the area.
Driver 2 will then be secured in the vehicle. The driver change

area will be placed such that the timing system will see the
driver change as an extra long lap. Unless this driver change
takes longer than two minutes, this extra long lap will not
count. If the driver change takes longer than two minutes, the
extra time will be counted into the final time. Driver 2 will
drive for rest of the laps (6) and elapsed time will stop when
the car completes the total 12 laps.
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

2nd FORMULA GREEN
the extra long lap for the driver change from the total time and
adding any penalty points.
Penalties-
 Cones Down Or Out- Two (2) seconds per cone. This includes cones
before the start line and after the finish line.
 Off Course- For an OC, the driver must re-enter the track at or
prior to the missed gate or a twenty (20) second penalty will be
assessed.

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 one (1) to four (4) minutes depending upon the
severity of the offense.
