Electrathon America is a racing program where teams have to design, build and race a vehicle as far as possible in a 1 hour endurance race.

Vehicles are purpose built, electric powered, machines optimized for efficiency in every way possible. The bodies are constructed to be as aerodynamic as possible, the mechanical systems are assembled to reduce friction and energy loss, and the drivers are trained to control the cars in a way which conserves the most energy while still competing at a high level. 

EV Racing at East

The engineering program at East Forsyth High School has successfully built and raced 2 electrathon cars since starting in 2021. Students have developed skills in electronics, welding, metalworking, CAD, and CNC manufacturing. 

Students will use these skills to design and build vehicles from scratch, and make design adjustments to the current vehicles.
