A team of Delft University students have
won the World Solar Challenge solar car race across Australia for the sixth
time.
The Nuna 8 car crossed the finishing line in Adelaide at 10.30 local time
after a 3,000 kilometre race across Australia from Darwin. In total, 42 cars
from 25 countries took part.
The Red One solar car, built by students at Twente
University, had been in the lead for three days but was passed by the Nuna 8
towards the end of the penultimate day.
According to Australian broadcaster
ABC, cloud cover on the final day caused some anxiety about how much power each
team would have.
The third Dutch team, from Eindhoven University, is taking
part in a different class which is not just about speed. Their family
Stella Lux car was in second place.
