The Corporate Challenge 2008
Greenpower: The Background
Greenpower has been inspiring the next generation of engineers since 1999, through our electric car races for schools programme. Hundreds of schools and thousands of students nationwide have taken part over the years.
Pupils from primary school age upwards stuck into both theoretical and practical engineering in exciting and unique design, build and race projects, which culminate in occasions such as our prestigious four hour endurance races at major motor circuits around the UK.
Three categories cater for anyone in education aged 9-21. Each formula is closely controlled by its own unique and rigid specification which requires cars to use identical electric motors and batteries.
The Corporate Challenge
Now, in Greenpower’s tenth anniversary year, industry has the chance to take on the top fifteen secondary school cars from 2007 in The Corporate Challenge - a four hour endurance race to be held at the Goodwood Motor Circuit on Sunday 27th April 2008.
Using apprentices or employees, entrants must design, build and race an electric car, capable of challenging the top 15 cars built by secondary schools in a four hour endurance race. Alternatively, entrants may collaborate with a currently participating school and use their expertise to create a winning partnership.
