Calling all cyclists and runners - you're invited to join the RACV Energy Breakthrough STRAVA club! Created to connect students from schools across Victoria and beyond as they prepare for this year's event in Maryborough. Strava is the social network for athletes, where anyone can upload their physical activities (runs, rides, swims, anything!). They can then give and receive 'kudos' and comments on other friend's activities, too.
The RACV EB have joined forces with La Trobe University and Cyient to hold a special 'Design, Display and Trial' preparation workshop ahead of the 2017 RACV Energy Breakthrough. This free workshop is an invitation for all RACV EB students, teachers and team managers to attend and will be held on the morning of Friday October 27 2017 at the La Trobe University campus in Bendigo.

Whilst our teams this week in Australia have been racing to get their entries in as quickly as possible, the Girton Racing Team from Bendigo is in Singapore taking on a very different type of challenge. They're in Singapore for the Shell Eco-Marathon (Asia) and are aiming to cover 900km their vehicle with just one litre of petrol.
It's time to take control of your account, with the 2017 RACV Energy Breakthrough entries (for Human Powered Vehicle (HPV) Primary) set to open at 8AM AEDT today, Wednesday 15th, March.
Since publishing the RACV Energy Breakthrough handbook which includes Vehicle Specification and Trial Regulations and Rules, a number of schools have been quick to express concerns about changes to the seat belt mounting rules and with the power restrictions placed on pedal/electrically EEVs.
The long-awaited 2017 School's Handbook is finally here! After much checking, reviewing and double checking, rules, regulations, specifications and criteria are now available for viewing in preparation for entries opening on the 15th of March, 2017.
