Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

1. Is it mandatory for EV participants at Formula Bharat to go through SkillShark only for their ESO training?

It is recommended, but not mandatory for participants to choose SkillShark as a provider of this training.

The ESOs are responsible for all electrical work carried out on the vehicle during the competition. The ESOs are the only persons in the team who may declare the vehicle electrically safe, in order for work to be performed on any system of the vehicle by the team.
