Da Vinci Days has its very own electric car race! The ENTEK International Grand Prix is the nation’s longest consecutively running Electrathon America-sanctioned event. This is a clean, silent road race. Up to 20 vehicles usually compete. Driver's ages range from 16 to 66.

Electrathon race vehicles run on standard car batteries. The competition is based on speed and energy use. Racers compete for the greatest number of laps around the 0.8 mile racecourse in one hour without recharging.
