A Dutch team, Nuon backed by the European Space Agency (ESA) has just won the World Solar Challenge 2003 in Australia. Second place was booked by a well known Australian team, Aurora while Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) secured the third place. So this actually means MIT managed to overthrone Michigan as the best performing varsity team in WSC. Nuon Solar Team is not a varsity team regardless what the Dutch claim.
The next major solar challenge will be the Hellas Solar Car Race (also known as Phaethon 2004) in Greece, in conjuction with the 2004 Summer Olympic. Currently, more than 10 teams have confirmed their participation in the race. Michigan unfortunately will not be joining the race.
So, I guess 2005 is the target.
But in any case, Celta is in Amsterdam for a Champions' League match today. Ajax should be able to make Celta flying back crying to Spain. Update to follow.
