Prometheans
The Powerhouse of Passion, Performance, and Innovation
Prometheans, the official off-road racing team of Thiagarajar College of Engineering (TCE) — where engineering brilliance meets unrelenting passion. Formed in 2015 by a visionary group of Mechanical Engineering trailblazers, Prometheans has grown into more than just a student initiative — it is a movement, a legacy, and a launchpad for future pioneers in the world of mobility and motorsports.​
​
From day one, we’ve been driven by a single purpose: to engineer excellence. We don’t just build vehicles; we forge mechanical beasts that conquer the toughest terrains. We brought together the brightest minds, the boldest thinkers, and the most relentless doers — united not just by a love for automobiles, but by an insatiable hunger to build, break barriers, and race toward perfection. Every bolt tightened, every line of code written, and every sleepless night in the workshop fuels our hunger for victory.
​
Our team thrives on hands-on innovation, where theories turn into torque, and classroom knowledge powers real-world racing machines. Prometheans is a forum for free thinkers, a crucible of creativity, and a testbed for transformative ideas in off-road automotive design and engineering. Every machine we build isn’t just a vehicle — it’s a symbol of teamwork, discipline, and engineering mastery. With each competition, we don’t just race; we represent a spirit — one of relentless pursuit, bold experimentation, and the courage to stand out.
