The Pakistani student team comprising 15 girls is called 'Team Auj' and built the car without any mechanical engineer in the ensemble. The current members are from different disciplines including electrical engineers, industrial designers and members from business management. Apart from the team attracting a number of sponsors, the team was also funded by the Pakistani Prime Minister's office, as the team was lacking financial funds.

While details on the car's technical aren't available, the team holds a special place in the competition as the second all-female team and the first to visit the UK competition. Additionally, Team Auj won the 'Spirit of FS' award at the competition this year and also received a standing ovation for their participation.

Its always commendable to see women do well in motorsport and increased participation is always a welcome. The all-girls team serve as an inspiration not only to girls in Pakistan but world over, who aspire to make a career or compete in motorsport. More power to you.
