Formula Student
  Congratulations and thank you to FS2012 teams!

Alternative-fuel cars were pitted directly against the petrol cars, with Delft and Zwickau’s battery-powered racers both making the top 10. Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden, won this year’s event, beating Delft University of Technology’s electric car by just 2.4 points. Monash University, based in Melbourne, Australia, took third place.
