About Team Ovrheat

Team Ovrheat Racing is a student-led STEM engineering team from The Ardee School, New Delhi, competing in STEM Racing India 2026. We are a unit built on precision, innovation, and the relentless pursuit of victory — here to prove what Indian STEM racing teams are truly capable of on the global stage.

Our Story

The name "Ovrheat" means exactly what it sounds like — we push past the point where others stop. We are thinkers, designers, and engineers who refuse to settle for average. We embrace being underestimated, using discipline, creativity, and teamwork to turn doubt into performance and ambition into results.

We exist to challenge misconceptions — to show that Indian STEM racing teams are capable of competing, and winning, on the global stage. We push past limits, rise under pressure, and intend to set a new standard for what teams like us can achieve.

We are the next generation of engineers and innovators from India. Every decision we make is driven by one goal: to prove that the institutions we represent can and will compete — and win — at the highest level.

Meet the Team

👤

Maulik Mittal

Manufacturing & Resources Manager

Oversees the full manufacturing pipeline — managing materials, optimising resource use, and ensuring every component is produced to specification.

👤

👤

Iyaan Anand

Graphic Designer

Builds and maintains the Ovrheat visual identity — from race livery to digital assets — ensuring the brand is as sharp as the engineering behind it.

What is STEM Racing?

STEM Racing is a global competition where student teams design, manufacture, test, and race miniature CO2-powered Formula 1 cars. Beyond engineering, teams develop real enterprise skills — from sponsorship and marketing to project management. Engineering excellence meets real-world business.

The Car

Our car is the result of months of CAD modelling, CFD simulation, and iterative refinement — every design decision optimised for one purpose: competitive performance.

Design Philosophy

Our design process balances aerodynamic efficiency with structural integrity. CAD modelling and CFD analysis guide every iteration — reducing drag, maximising straight-line speed, and preserving stability through cornering.

🏎️

Technical Specifications

  • Length 210mm
  • Material polyurethane foam
  • Weight TBD (Post-CNC)
  • Propulsion CO2 Cartridge
