Chu and her team were thrilled to share Supermileage’s experience and their car with members of the UBC community. “More than anything, our event shows people that it is possible to make a difference and our competition mileage stats are quantitative evidence to drive that point home,” she adds. "By giving people a tangible look at the technologies that are being developed right in their backyard, we can hopefully inspire them to take action as well by proving that it’s not far out of reach."

Now, more than ever, Supermileage and their community are excited to showcase their hard work as the team will race for the first time at the new Shell Eco-marathon Americas destination - the Motor City - Detroit, Michigan.
