WHAT IS PEDAL PRIX
The Australian HPV Super Series is an annual championship held in South Australia and Western Australia featuring velomobiles racing around enclosed circuits for a period between 6 and 24 hours.
It is the largest event of its kind anywhere in the world and attracts teams from all around Australia, and even overseas.
The Woodend Primary School Pedal Prix Team is a school-based parent-run activity.
Pedal Prix has many benefits for the students who become involved. These include:
