Quote:
Two categories
at the Shell Eco-marathon to do more than 500 teams from 50 countries and all those engaged in building the ultimate energy-efficient vehicle. The two categories from which the teams can choose their Prototype and Urban Concept . In the first category we see a lot of futuristic vehicles to such an energy-efficient vehicle and the second category we see vehicles that may also be acceptable for use on public roads.

7 Types of fuel
The teams must choose from seven types of fuel. These are; gasoline, diesel, ethanol, GTL, CNG, hydrogen and battery-electric. The Shell Eco-marathon so is not about speed but about efficiency.

Six students dropped out of school for a year to be part of one team project and work on it full time.

3:50 mark shows the road/racetrack scramble of different designs................so cool.
