Popis: Formula Bharat is an Indian Formula Student competition whose objective is to check the consciousness of viable building knowledge and understudy innovation through a focused stage. The challenge enables the teams to use an engine having a maximum displacement of 710 cc. Considering all the parameters, KTM RC390 engine was selected for the challenge on account of its unwavering quality, execution, and different components like engine control unit (ECU) to provide the most favorable execution and to obtain optimized performance. Being a formula student team, one must draw its whole attention toward weight reduction, and some of the components in the main harness of the KTM engine adds to the excessive weight; therefore, the trivial components are shortened from the formula race car. In order to achieve maximum efficiency, thorough study of the sensors, their respective connections, and ports were done. A PCB of BSPD and researched work on shutdown circuit which contains some safety components and switches for different hazardous situations has also been included. Taking all the concepts into consideration planning, designing and execution of all the methodologies for performance optimization of the formula race car have been achieved. The main objective of this research was to enhance the safety and achieve a performance boost in the car.
