Abstract: A go kart has been designed and developed by mechanical department for the Indian Karting Race (IKR). Indian Karting Race is a national level championship organized and conducted by Imperial Society of Innovative Engineers (ISIE). Various teams from all over the nation try to design and fabricate a low-cost go-kart and then compete with each other in different rounds such as in the designing phase and in safety round. The students had a great chance to prove their knowledge which they gained from the subject of automobile engineering and ic engine. The designing is done in commercial software SolidWorks 2016 and the software ANSYS 14.0 was used to perform finite element analysis. Two designs were made for the comparison so that a suitable design with higher factor of safety, best load consideration and good sporting vehicle can be selected.
