2. Letter from the Team Captain
Founding the team in November 2011 with a dream of developing a culture of Student
Automotive Research in UAE by creating research opportunities and training facilities for
the students fills me with pride when I look back today. Since its commencement, till this
day it has been a journey filled with learning, fun, enthusiasm, passion and diligence. To
see young minds joining the team with a hope of learning and living their dream and evolve
as a true leader in society is an achievement in itself. Since BAJA-The first built, to FSAE
- The third, team member count raised from 15 to a stagerring 120. To see this army of
engineers ready to travel together in time through the journey of building our fourth race
car named GS RF-02, I feel we changed and will continue to change lives of many students
in our society. Nothing can ever bring me more joy than to see a family in Dubai away from
home. Together we loved, together we worked; in times of joy, in times of sorrow, for it was
success or was failure; their support proved to be indespensable. This team, these young
students keep the spirit going and brings my vision closer to its ultimate goal . I wish this
team a very good luck and may God bring Team Gear Shifters success and prosperity in all
its future endeavours.

5. Team Gear Shifters is a group of students from varied streams of BITS Pilani- Dubai Campus, living with
a dream of developing a culture of Student Automotive Research in UAE. The culture at Gear Shifters
is not just to promote Automotive Research, but also to inundate the character of a true entrepreneur;
“A Gear Shifter” into the members. The team has learned the real essence of teamwork, reliability, hard
work, time management, engineering, manufacturing, finance and marketing. The team started with
5 members at the time of foundation to 15 during its first international participation in BAJA 2013 at
Tennessee Tech in USA and then to 25 during Formula SAE 2014 Michigan International Speedway,
held between May 14 to May 17,2014. The team took part in many small scale projects as well. One of
these projects was Sand Dukes, a delta-wheeled ATV, which was an internship program for freshers
who were striving to gain practical experience so they could be an integral part of the main team.
This year Gear Shifters proudly holds the strength of 120 members in its family ready to build the
next Formula SAE car named GS RF-02 for the year 2014-15. This year, the team has shifted its aim
from just building a race car to building it the RIGHT WAY, with the integration of ERP solutions,
corporate level Departmentalization, Finance Handling, Training Capsules and Data Mining. The
team looks forward to professional collaborations with various R&D and Educational Institutions
in UAE to help build a stronger platform for the young minds of UAE that aspire to do the same.

10. Sponsorshipcouldbecategorizedasoneofthemostvital
constituents of this venture as it is with your support
and assistance we will be looking to get our materials,
tools and other resources essential for building the car
to its optimum level. Without your support, the team
would not be able to attain the goals set and give UAE
its very own Formula SAE race car. Being the Pioneers
of FSAE and SAE BAJA in UAE, we are definitely the
team with more need of a strong backing but that
doesn`t mean you don’t get your share of benefits.
FSAE is considered to be the pinnacle of automobile
competitions with teams coming from all parts of
the world. The teams and the event receive extensive
media coverage and airtime. This promises an
excellent opportunity to the sponsor to promote its
organization internationally. Given that our car at the
event is promoting the nation indirectly, there will
be widespread local media and press coverage hence
giving your organization great publicity at the local
level as well. The sponsor reserves the right to use the
achievementsoftheteamforitsownpublicitycampaign.
