Stella sure of top three in Australia

Stella will definitely be in the top three in Australia. And if Saturday’s jury report is a positive one, the solar car of Solar Team Eindhoven (STE) will win the Cruiser category of the World Solar Challenge.

Today, the team of TU Eindhoven finished in Adelaide just after one o’clock (local time). Stella finished behind Australian team SunSwift, but since time is only one of four factors that are judged for the general ranking, STE is getting ready for gold. After all, the students of TU/e have been the one to beat since the very beginning. Their direct competition from Australia and Bochum, Germany, raced with three people instead of four, and that will be very important for the final ranking.

On Saturday a judging panel of experts will evaluate the cars once more. The final ranking will be presented on Sunday.
