The inauguration ceremony began with the lighting of the lamp followed by a prayer song performance given by the students of the school.
The participants put up a great show exhibiting their understanding and grip over the technicalities of a miniature F1 car in this highly competitive race. Competitors made some amazing models of cars and fought tooth and nail to win the contest while making last-minute adjustments.
From coming up with the best possible design for the minimum friction of the car to setting up their pit-booth in a manner to be set apart from others, the participants were all high on adrenaline as they competed to enter the next round of the competition.
