Brammer-sponsored Team Green is celebrating after being named the Best UK Team at the Shell Eco-Marathon Youth Challenge UK event.

Team Green named Best UK Team at Rockingham Eco MarathonThe annual fuel economy competition, which this year was held at Rockingham Speedway, is designed for youth teams to construct and drive the most fuel-efficient vehicle. The event helps to promote environmental sustainability through the development of frugal petrol and LPG technology.

Andy Green, manufacturing engineer at the University of Bath and founder of Team Green, comments: "We have taken part in the Youth Challenge since 1996 and every year offers a new opportunity for our students to get involved and use their skills to try and beat not only our impressive personal record but also that of our competitors."

"Brammer is integral to our maintenance and development, as bearings and the latest mechanical components are crucial for the improvement of the team car. Their recent donations of drive belts and a taper lock bush have helped us to modify the car in preparation for this year's competition and, without their support, we would not have achieved this result."
