For the first time a team wins the World Solar Challenge race for three times in a row.
It is a shame though that the MIT solar car was damaged and could therefore not become a true competitor during the race. Read more technical discussions (innovation related discussions) here and here. Reading the comments, all cars including nuna4 (?) will drive even faster next year under the same weather circumstances.
