Powered by a naturally aspirated 600cc 4 cylinder Honda CBR engine, tuned to deliver 70 bhp (restricted), it manages to propel the car weighing of 300 kg (including a 80 kg driver and fuel) from 0 to 100 km/h in minimal time, accelerating to speeds in excess of 140 km/h (limited).The TeamSHARK from the University Moratuwa is the first Sri Lankan team entering the Formula Student competition and is fully-sponsored by DIMO. The company has provided financial support to build the car and will be funding the team’s trip to the UK. Additionally, TeamSHARK was given expert advice and guidance and had complete access to the facilities at DIMO’s Siyambalape premises in order to build the car.DIMO Chairman and Managing Director Ranjith Pandithage said this is a proud moment for DIMO, the Moratuwa University and for all Sri Lankans. “We wish TeamSHARK and their exciting creation - the D-Mora P1- the very best as they race to the finish line in their attempt to showcase the outstanding engineering talents of Sri Lanka to the world.”Sasiranga De Silva, the lecturer-in-charge of the Team Shark formula student project has paved the way for a group of passionate and talented individuals in mechanical engineering to rise as stars in their professional careers in the future years to come. This is the first time that a team from Sri Lanka is taking part in this prestigious international competition.”Project Chairman Harshana Kelasha said it was not easy building a Formula car and take it to UK to race along the world’s highest ranked universities, along with their academic workload. We worked tirelessly to build this car up from scratch. I should also take this opportunity to thank the academic and non-academic staff of the Mechanical Engineering Department for their guidance and support. The financial, managerial and technical support provided by DIMO, is the main pillar on which this project rests.” - <a href="http://www.dailynews.lk/?q=2016/07/08/business/86901" target="_blank">http://www.dailynews.lk/?q=2016/07/08/business/86901</a></blockquote>
