Vth Széchenyi Race - Competition of Alternatively Driven Vehicles in Images

In the heart of Central Europe's new automotive hub, Győr, the Alliance of Alternatively Driven Vehicles and the INNO-MOBIL Sport Club with the contribution of the Széchenyi István University has presented the 5th Széchenyi Race - Competition of Alternatively Driven Vehicles. The competition not only selects the best innovators, scientists and sportsmen, but also the possible start-ups of the new electric, fuel-cell or hydrogen propelled industry. Before a more detailed analysis here are the images.



It was a great team building exercise for the Visegrad Investments team and we hope to team up with winners from both the electric and the fuel cell categories.

Fifth Race of Zero Emission Vechicles in Győr

In one of the Central-European automotive hubs, almost equidistant from Budapest, Wien and Bratislava takes place the 5th Széchenyi Race^®, the race of alternative vehicles. The race is named after Earl Széchenyi, considered the greatest Hungarian philantropist who lay down the foundations of Hungary's scientific academy and introduced the country to steam-powered ships, horse-racing and casinos. The name of Győr's university with the most advanced automotive design faculty also bears his name.

The schedule is based on the inventions of the young designers. The best ideas share in innovation prizes that serve the basis of the further development works. The race is an acknowledged forum of the young engineers. On Saturday you can enjoy the parade of more than 60 concept vechicles in ten categories: (Motorbikes, Hobby vehicles, Solar powered vehicles, Study-vehicles, Prototype vehicles, Racing vehicles, Modified series production vehicles, Series production motorbikes, Series production vehicles, Electro-Karts).

Sunday dawn is practice time for the teams, the first speed races start on Sunday at 8:30 am, the long distance races start at 12.30.

Although most of the innovations are in an early phase, they will shape Central Europe's automotive industry very soon, so not only family-friends and fools are expected.
