Our 2000 Chevy Metro, converted to a fully electric vehicle, once again came in First place in the Modified Electric Vehicle class at the 20th annual Toyota Green Grand Prix held at Watkins Glen International on Friday, April 12.
Kolton Gardner is an MET Senior who competed at the Green Grand Prix this year. When asked about the event he said “Overall the event was a fun experience. I enjoyed being able to talk to people from other schools and see the different projects that they are working on.” Kolton raced the car in the Autocross portion of the event. He said “the car was a lot quicker than I was expecting, and super fun to drive.”
The students are looking forward to working on their fully electric Tesla Model 3 powered Factory Five Shelby Daytona Coupe with hopes of competing with it in the event next year.
