They waste natural resources, pollute the air and groundwater, desecrate the landscape with asphalt and last forever in landfills, but by God - we love them!

Mr. Goodwrench was right: it's not your car, it's your freedom, and freedom stirs the soul. It doesn't require any guess what are we talking about: it's the passion of our era, it's the adrenalin booster for us, it's the raw machine which will thrill and amaze you too - it's NITTro at Pragyan '11. Don't be left behind, prepare your own RC controlled IC engine car that will roar the horizons.

It's the ultimate legacy to watch your dream machine being ogled-boggled and create an envy around you. So RRRReeeeevvvvvv it!!!

PROBLEM STATEMENT:

Make a wireless remote controlled machine, powered ONLY by an IC Engine that can complete a designated track in the least possible time.
