The RACV Energy Breakthrough is a joint initiative of the Country Education Project, the Shire of Central Goldfields and the Royal Automobile Club of Victoria (RACV).
The main event involves a 24 hour trial in which students of schools around Australia race their Human Powered Vehicles and Hybrid Powered People Carriers around a circuit of approximately 1.34 kilometres. The teams which race these vehicles consist of 8 riders, usually four male and four female participants. Leading teams can complete almost 900 kilometres in the 24 hour trial.

Famous quotes containing the word energy:
“Long before Einstein told us that matter is energy, Machiavelli and Hobbes and other modern political philosophers defined man as a lump of matter whose most politically relevant attribute is a form of energy called “self-interestedness.” This was not a portrait of man “warts and all.” It was all wart.”
—George F. Will (b. 1941)
