Help design the world’s most efficient superbike, win an iPad 2!

Medium

This is your big chance to help design the lightest, most efficient racing motorcycle ever made. And win an iPad 2 for your effort. Interested? :)

The challenge, should you accept it, is to re-design the triple clamp for the Amarok P1 zero emission race bike that is competing to win the International Formula 75 TTXGP Championship.

If you beat other engineers, win the competition and your design rocks then the triple clamp you designed will help the lightweight heavy hitter tear up the tarmac already in June in the first race of the series. You get the bragging rights and an iPad 2 as the prize for your efforts.

About Amarok Racing

The goal of Amarok Racing is to compete in and win in the North American Championship of the formula 75 class in 2011. To that end the team has designed and built a ground-up, all new, radically engineered electric racing superbike that changes the paradigm in the industry, in power-to-weight.

TTXGP is the world’s first zero emissions, all electric racing series for motorcycles, pitting innovation, high technology and new thinking against the challenges of high performance, efficient mobility.

GrabCAD is proud to help Amarok Racing to achieve this goal by pooling the collective knowledge and skills of over 4000 engineers.

By the way Amarok is the Inuit word for wolf, hence the paw logo.
