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:
“Crime is naught but misdirected energy. So long as every institution of today, economic, political, social, and moral, conspires to misdirect human energy into wrong channels; so long as most people are out of place doing the things they hate to do, living a life they loathe to live, crime will be inevitable.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
