Motion (by Mr Humphries ) proposed:

MR WOOD (5.19): On Monday, 21 February a group of young people from Brindabella returned home after their participation in yet another successful solar car race and electric vehicle race. The team supporting the solar car, the Spirit of Canberra, and the electric vehicle, the Viper, comprised students of Lake Tuggeranong College, both past and present, and staff.

The college team competed in this year's Sun Race, a race from Sydney to Melbourne, with daily stages and nightly stopovers in Canberra, Wagga Wagga, Hay, Mildura, Swan Hill and Bendigo. The race started from Sydney on 13 February and finished in Melbourne on 19 February. I believe that there were nine entrants in the solar car section and four in the electric vehicle section.

The Spirit of Canberra led the race through part of the first day, but was slowed by increasing and unexpected cloud cover. It finished third overall behind university teams from Queensland and the Northern Territory. The electric vehicle, the Viper, came second overall. Last October the Spirit of Canberra came seventh overall in the very prestigious world solar challenge which ran from Darwin to Adelaide. This event was keenly contested by teams from all around the world,. all backed by millions of dollars
