The Shell Eco-Marathon is an event in which team built vehicles will get try to get the highest MPG on a track in the streets of Detroit, This countdown timer is actual days until the event, but the number of school days is only about 2/3 of the timer amount.
Lapeer's Team Challenge
After being invited to join the Shell Eco-marathon Challenge, the students have decided to build a gasoline powered, Urban Concept vehicle.
It is to use gasoline engine, have 4 wheels, a skin and be able to carry a cargo. It has to perform like an everyday car with doors, a windshield with wipers and all the lights and horns.
The car in the photo performed quite well when it raced several years ago. The frame has since been scrapped but would be a good start for a Shell Eco-marathon Challenge car.
The biggest challenge is the time factor. The event is going to be held April 9-12, 2015. That gives about 90 days from start to finish.
