Legacy · 2008 to today

Seven cars. Eighteen years. One record.

Every generation is built by a new team of students in one year. Some seasons end on the podium. Some end in the pit lane. Both are in here.

2009

World record

An 80 kg hydrogen fuel cell car wins the Urban Concept class at 1246 km per litre equivalent, a world record.

2019

Best run ever

Fuel Fighter 5, a ground up carbon build at 73 kg, drives 181 km/kWh and takes the Vehicle Design Award.
