Innovative technology and environmental consciousness complement each other well.

Audi Hungaria is the main sponsor of the event for the second time.
“Our company gladly sponsors the Széchenyi Race, which encourages creativity and inventive spirit. The competition provides us with the opportunity to build connections with gifted students and experienced engineers, since hard-working specialists interested in innovation are particularly sought after at our company,” said Richárd Rozman, Director of Human Resources.
This year, 45 teams’ 70 vehicles will line up in the race. Besides Hungarian competitors, there will be teams from France, Slovakia and Iran as well at the event organized by INNO-MOBIL Sports Association. The individually constructed or modified vehicles are electrically powered, or powered by solar energy, compressed air or hydrogen. The teams will test their inventions in speed and length sections. The professional jury consisting of experts from the Hungarian automotive industry and the main sponsor, Audi Hungaria, will evaluate the vehicles according to different categories.
Today the participants made a visit to Audi Hungaria and gained some insight into engine production and vehicle assembly.
