Eco-Marathon Records: Eco-Marathon in a nutshell: The principle of the race is to use as little fuel as possible during the race on a given distance to be covered within a given time according to the regulations. The results are given by measuring the fuel consumed during the attempt. The only fuels that may be used are commercial unleaded 98-octane fuel or - diesel. These fuels are supplied by the organizers. Fuel must be used alone with no additives; only the power produced in the engine by its combustion with air can be used for propulsion, with the exception of factors considered natural, such as wind and gradient. All intentional changes to the aerodynamic form of the vehicle during the race are prohibited Two Eco-Marathon competition classes: –Open class: General structural regulations –Basic class: General structural regulations + additional limitations: Materials of the carrying structures: steel, aluminium, plywood, wood, use of any fibre material is forbidden Bodywork (non carrying structure): glass fibre, wood, plastic, steel, aluminium, fabrics Engine: factory made origin,modification of factory made parts is allowed, electronic control systems with feedback are not allowed International competitions: (Nogaro (F), Bryssel (B), Rockingham (GB), Suzuka (J), Nokian Tyres Ltd test track (FIN)), over 600 competing teams all over the world Open class WR: 3962km/l Fancy Carol (J) Hiroshima (J), 2003 Basic class WR: 2204km/l BS Mileage Marathon (FIN) Nogaro (F), 2002 Diesel WR: 2572km/l Optima Racing (F) Nokian Tyres Ltd test track (FIN), 2001 Basic class FR: 2204 km/l BS Mileage Marathon (FIN) Nogaro (F) 2002 Diesel FR: 2455km/l BS Mileage Marathon (FIN) Nokia (FIN), HNi

BS Mileage Marathon Mission BS Mileage Marathon was founded in It's headquarters are located in Lempäälä Finland. The aim of the team is to built and develop eco-marathon vehicles to be as economic as possible and to thrive as well as possible in international races in basic class category. In addition to the everyday work the team promotes its co-operative partners and offers an opportunity for the members for creative inventions and problem solving, as well as for applying the learned skills in demanding technical applications.

Eco-Marathon competition Case: CIRCUIT PAUL RICARD - LE CASTELLET Six 3208m laps, total race distance 19248m Total time 48’00’’, average speed 25km/h Height difference 16m 25 accelerations Driving technique: The competitors must complete a given distance (usually 15-20km) at a minimum average speed of 25 km/h or 20 km/h (only in France). Switching off the engine and rolling on neutral are allowed during the race. Acceleration 1. 8s, 20-33km/h Acceleration 2. 9s, 18-33km/h Acceleration 3. 9s, 20-36km/h Acceleration 4. 2s, 21-25km/h Starting acceleration 15s, 0-25km/h = Uphill HNi
