Auto Racing: Shell eco-marathon.com uk, rockingham motor speedway, eco marathon


Question
Hi Matt, I'm a design technology teacher at a school in Sandbach, Cheshire, England. We have just won this years schools Shell Eco-marathon achieving 2250.5 mpg at the Rockingham Motor Speedway in Corby - not bad!
I used a Honda GX31 4 stroke engine ~ 1.5hp, 340g/kWh fuel consumption, ~3kg weight etc. I'm looking for an even more efficient engine - do you have any ideas, contacts etc I could chase up.
Cheers,
Dave.

Answer
Hello David , thanks for the question but im afraid fuel economy and small engines such as the ones your using are not really a subject im too familiar with so i cant answer your question.

But its nice to hear your striving to go one better even though you have already won the Eco marathon !!!

Best of luck to you and your school and sorry i couldn't help.

Matt
