The car marathon will be held in at the Sepang International Formula 1 circuit, where Jugaad will compete against similar cars, not just from other countries but a few other cars from India as well.

At the Marathon Car Race they will be required to cover 11.2 km with 250 ml fuel onboard. The vehicle that goes the furthest wins.
The student team have spent INR 4 lakhs on the project, with INR 1.5 lakhs coming in as funding from Yamaha and Om Freight. The students estimate in a real world scenario Jugaad will return 70-80 kmpl, with the inclusion of a suspension, a proper body and other features that will make it road legal.
