Team Aztech Motorsport - STEM Racing India Nationals

Aztech Motorsports — Sponsorship & Manufacturing Partnership Proposal

Submitted to PCBWay | STEM Racing National Championship

1. Who We Are

Aztech Motorsports is a student-led engineering team competing in STEM Racing, an international competition where teams design, manufacture, test, and race miniature Formula-style cars. We qualified for the National Championship through our performance at the regional round, where we also won the Best Project Management Award.

Team size: 5 students, organized into sub-teams: Design (CAD/CFD), Manufacturing, Testing & Validation, and Project Management/Media.

School: Manthan School

Regional results: 4th place, best regional project management and a 1.04 second race time across 20 meters.

2. Project Scope & Technical Objectives

We are engineering our car using a professional-grade development workflow rather than relying on theoretical design alone. This season's technical program includes:

CAD modelling (iterative design in [Fusion 360) of chassis, body panels, and aerodynamic components

CFD simulation to model airflow, drag coefficient (Cd), and downforce across the car body and wing assemblies

Physical validation via wind tunnel testing and airflow visualization (smoke testing) to correlate simulation data against real-world results

Iterative aerodynamic optimization based on the gap between simulated and measured performance

Weight reduction through material selection and structural optimization

Manufacturing precision — translating CAD tolerances into physical parts without performance loss from dimensional drift

This is the core reason precision manufacturing partners matter to us: in a competition where race times are decided by hundredths of a second, a 0.2 mm deviation in a wing profile or axle bore can measurably change performance.

3. Specific Components We Need Manufactured

3D printed Front/rear wing elements with nylon

CNC machined chassis using a standard block made of polyurethane

3D printed wheel support structure with PLA

3D printed wheels with PLA+

4. Project Timeline

Design Iteration and CFD testing - done

Design finalization - done

Prototype manufacturing - ordered the parts

Wind tunnel validation - Not done

Final assembly - Not done

National Championship - 9th of August

6. What We're Requesting

We are requesting a monetary sponsorship of 20,000 to 40,000 rupees to support our team's participation in the National Championship. This funding will go toward:

Manufacturing costs for the precision components listed in Section 3 (CNC machining, 3D printing)

Materials for chassis, body, and aerodynamic components

Competition entry fees and travel/logistics to the National Championship

Wind tunnel testing fees

A monetary sponsorship gives our team the flexibility to source the specific manufacturing processes and materials each component needs, while ensuring PCBWay is credited as a named funding partner across our project.

In return, we can offer: logo placement on our car's livery and team uniforms, acknowledgment on our team's website and social media, a case-study write-up (with photos/CAD renders) of how sponsorship funding supported our build, and behind-the-scenes content from our wind tunnel testing and competition run that PCBWay can use for its own marketing/case studies.
