The team is participating in the Shell Ecomarathon (Urban Concept) competeition for the first time this year. This is also the inaugural year for the competition!

Each team must make eight laps around a speedway and maintain an average of 15 mph. Urban Concept cars will also make three 10-second stops along the way. Marshals will inspect the cars and determine which went the farthest distance on the least amount of energy.
