The chart below shows average speeds for the solar cars which reached the finish line in the 2013 World Solar Challenge, colour-coded by class. It seemed appropriate to make the colours in the chart those of the Australian outback (taken from one of the wonderful photographs by Team Nuon).
The teams below were forced to trailer their vehicles in 2013. Let’s hope that happens less often this year.
