On the occasion, the Rector was accompanied by Dean of the Faculty, Ir.Tumiran, M.Eng., Ph.D., Chairman of the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, Ir. M.

"In the future the children of Indonesia will further excel and bring pride to UGM and the Indonesian nation," Tumiran said.

Meanwhile, Leader of Bimasakti UGM team, Akmal Irfan Majid, explained later on they will participate in a race using the car number "67" (means the 67th Anniversary of Indonesia). Bimasakti Team passed the selection as one of 76 other contestants from various countries such as Japan, China, Thailand, India, Egypt and Indonesia. They will compete in the competition which will be held from September 3 to 7 in Ecopa, Aino-city, Japan.

"Teams that qualify for the top 76 will follow several race categories, including Static and Dynamic Events," Majid explained.

According to Majid, the team had gone a long way for this competition.
