consciousness about alternative and environment friendly energy sources,
is organising a Hydrogen Powered Cars race.
According to Turkish Scientific &
Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBITAK) officials, the
council which has started "The initiative for helping the youth to transform
their knowledge to products" with "Formula G" is extending the initiative
to include Hydrogen Technology.

will come up with successful models which will help Turkey be among leading
countries in the field.

long and the cars will weigh between 150-300kg. 22 teams from various universities
have already applied to the race. The application deadline for the race
