Dutch car powers to solar win. :
"It broke its own race record of 30 hours and 54 minutes, which was set in 2003."
The Dutch have won the World Solar Challenge again and they were so happy. They are incredibly relaxed, enthusiastic and careful in their approach. It's their 3rd win and this one is impressive because they cut so much time off their record. They were averaging about 103Km per hour which is a great speed to be traveling at. This is a 3000Km race across some very harsh country. The weather managed to hold off until later this afternoon, but it has become quite dark, wet and gloomy. We were waiting at about five to hear whether our Australian entry came in second or third. It's been a very fast, pretty efficient race this year and I guess a turning point for solar power.
