Teams from across Northern California have taken part in their H2 Grand Prix California State Qualifier, presented by Toyota Mirai. Five teams made it through to the State Final on April 22nd 2023. Well done to the following teams:
‘Independence HS 2’ ‘Arroyo 2’ ‘Independence HS 1’ ‘Arroyo 1’ ‘Arroyo 4’
Racers used a variety of STEAM skills to assemble their hydrogen-powered cars before putting them to the test against teams from across the region. Without our sponsors, Toyota Mirai and Raven SR, this renewable energy race would not have been possible.
We’d like to give a special mention to the two teams Raven SR sponsored from Benicia High School – we’re thrilled at their performance. For first-time teams they outperformed, and with a little more driving practice and some fuel-cell hacking, they have the potential to move up the rankings.
