Nanyang Venture II, a car built and raced by NTU students, has done well in the World Solar Challenge, one of the harshest solar car races in the world. Thirty-one solar cars from around the world started the 3,000-kilometre race from Darwin to Adelaide, which flagged off on Oct 25. First-time entrant Nanyang Venture II is Singapore’s sole entry in the World Solar Challenge, which is held every two years.
