This year sees the end of petrol powered hybrid vehicles as part of our Energy Efficient Vehicle program as we continue our march towards energy efficiency and being a truly green grand prix! Therefore, no petrol powered vehicles will be permitted as part of our event.
Robotics was featured as a demonstration event at the 2022 event with four schools participating with four teams. As it was considered successful, Robotics is planned to be offered to ALL schools in 2023.
The Human Powered Vehicle (HPVs) section includes those participating in the Primary, Secondary and TRYathlon categories.

Team Manager Hub
We’re also compiling all of the key information that leading teachers and Team Managers need to know on one web page called the ‘Team Managers Hub‘.
The Team Manager Hub has been developed to assist new and existing schools from the beginning to the end their Energy Breakthrough journey. More resources will be added to this page over the coming weeks, months and years. If you have any suggestions on what you’d like to see added to this page, please contact us.
It has also been added to the top navigation of the website so Team Managers can find it quickly.
