THE LEGACY OF UNTAMED ENDURANCE
Team Red Baron is Pimpri Chinchwad College of Engineering’s official collegiate offroad racing team. We design, manufacture, test, and race high-performance All-Terrain Vehicles (ATVs) for national BAJA SAE India competitions.
Innovate. Engineer. Evolve.
Team Red Baron is the first and official motorsports team of Pimpri Chinchwad College of Engineering (PCCOE), Pune. Founded in 2011 from a vision conceived by a group of 25 student engineers, the team began its journey by building its first Albatros ATV for BAJA SAE India. What started as a student-built off-road racing project has evolved into a decade-long legacy of engineering innovation, from combustion-powered ATVs to advanced electric and 4WD platforms. Today, Team Red Baron continues to design, manufacture, test, and race high-performance ATVs on national and international stage.
Our Vision
To become a leading student motorsports team recognized for innovation, technical excellence, and teamwork in designing and developing high-performance electric All-Terrain Vehicles, while representing the institution successfully at national and international competitions such as eBAJA SAE India and Baja SAE International.
Our Mission
To design and manufacture reliable, competitive electric ATVs through innovative engineering, while developing technical, leadership, and teamwork skills through hands-on learning, representing our institution with excellence, and advancing sustainable automotive technologies.
