On October 17th, Alerion Supermileage presented their vehicle in front of an unusual crowd : football fans. Indeed, the «Association des Diplômés de l’Université Laval» invited us to their very own Rouge & Or tailgate before Laval's match-up against Mount Allison. They held this event every week, offering to their members a true tailgate experience - starting at 8:30AM.

Surrounded by fans all morning, the team introduced our project to Laval's community, visibly very proud of last year's results. Bruno Leduc, project coordinator, took on the stage and said a few words about his fellow engineering students who showed great perseverance and true skills allowing Laval to succeed, while he looks forward to work with the team's highly motivated newcomers. He also took the opportunity to thank the ADUL for inviting to their event, which gives great visibility to the project.

That is how we connected with true sport spirit, under hot-dogs' pleasant smell... and taste.

Here it goes, 2009-2010 has now officially started. With last year trophies put back in their respective cases, the team is now ready to work on the car, which will again compete against international teams in two different competitions. The Shell Eco-Marathon 2010 is now held in Houston, Texas, whereas the SAE Supermileage competition will still happen in Michigan, Detroit. We are still looking for partners who would like to help us accomplish our numerous projects. Our Sponsorship Package is available online.

Our «moto» this year : innovation. Since previous results have proven how efficient and reliable is our car, we can now focus on integrating new technologies. With new team members' different perspectives and electrical engineering students bringing their expertise, there is no doubt that this year will sure be successful.
