On Thursday, 20 October the Nuon Solar Team finished in second place in the 2011 World Solar Challenge in Australia, just one hour behind the team from Japan’s Tokai University. In 2009 the TU Delft team also finished in second place behind Tokai, although the time difference then was much greater. This year the solar racers had to contend with forest fires along the Stuart Highway. “The fire was clearly visible along the first section of the route,” wrote Nadine Rodwijk in the Nuon Solar Team blog. Grass and trees were on fire right up to the verge of the Stuart Highway.
