- Pre-Selection Process
The Shell Eco-marathon Selection Committee will then decide which 200 teams will be invited to participate in the Shell Eco-marathon 2009. By limiting the number of participants to 200 we will be able to provide the safest working and living conditions both on and off the circuit. Ensuring the safety of all participants is our top priority.
Pre-selection will ensure greatest diversity as possible in terms of competing countries, educational institutions, fuel categories and engine types. All decisions taken by the Selection Committee are final and no discussions will be entered into.
Successful teams will be notified of their pre-selection by Friday 21 November 2008.
- Completing the Entry Pack
Pre-selected teams will be asked to complete and return the Entry Pack on or before Friday 19 December 2008. We will provide pre-selected teams further details on how to complete the Entry Pack to in due course.
As in the case of the Application Form, only those Entry Packs that are fully and correctly completed in ENGLISH will be accepted. Any pre-selected team that submits an incomplete or incorrectly completed Entry Pack will be automatically disqualified at this point.
The teams that make it through to the final selection will receive confirmation of their participation in early 2009 (exact date to be determined).
We look forward to receiving your applications and hope to see some of the most innovative and original fuel efficiency designs in next year’s edition of the European Shell Eco-marathon!
