To more relevent stuff.
The Shell Eco Marathon's first edition in Asia was a great event, given the representation of the third world. There was no Fghench finesse or Jurman efficiency or bragging Brits. There were just plain old Filipinos, and Thais, and Pakistanis, and Indians, and Indonesians, and Malaysians, and Iranis, and Vietnamese...the event was a harbinger of the rise of the third world. Hopefully. Participation by teams from China, Japan and Singapore gave the event credence, but hard-work and innovation by all teams, from all countries, gave it near-perfection.
So much so that results of Asian team ecclipsed those of the American version of the Eco-Marathon. Take that, you imperialistic American *****!
If these results are anything to go by, Europe, whose edition has been going on for a quarter of a century, could be in for stiff inter-continental competition.
The actual results...can be found somewhere here:
