From April 29 to May 2 approximately 100 teams from all over Asia and the Middle East tested their self-built energy-efficient cars in the two key competition types:
The Mileage Challenge – competing to see who can get around laps of the track using the least amount of energy.
Shell Eco-marathon Drivers’ World Championship Qualifier – matching the proven energy-efficiency of their car, with the strategy, skill and speed of the driver to see who crosses the finish line first, without running out of their tiny allocation of energy.
