Written by Administrator   

The race is over and everyone is safely back at Purdue. We were very successful at the Eco-marathon this year, taking the Grand Prize for the Solar Division for the second year in a row with a top efficiency of 4913 MPG. We also received second place for the Technical Innovation Award.

Shell's official race highlights, including a press release with all the results, can be found here. More information is located on the social media hub.

All the pictures we took will soon be in our gallery. We will also post photo highlights from the last few days of the race as soon as possible. We will also be posting video highlights as soon as our camera gets back from California - it is currently in the crate with PULSAR. Both should be back this Friday, so look for videos soon.

We're finishing up our last few runs here at the Shell Eco-marathon, and we're happy to report that we still have the most efficient car, with a top efficiency of 4913 MPG. We have continued to make adjustments to the car, and we hope to break 5000 MPG on one of our remaining runs.

Iin the last two day we have gone approximately 150 miles in PULSAR during official runs, plus more in practice runs.

PULSAR has almost made it to the 5000 mpg mark! Our highest run so far has been 4905.6 mpg. There's still time left in the day to make a few more runs and make it past 5000 mpg.

Keep voting for us on Shell's social media hub! We're currently in the lead! We're also featured in a video on the hub, entitled "Purdue at crunch time." Check it out!
