18 May Final Event Rotterdam

May 26, 2009

The 18 May event in Rotterdam was a big success! The Enviu crew arranged a nice location with a circuit, stage and tents. Stef van Dongen, the director of Enviu, the 4 Dutch teams, the President- General of VROM and Wubbo Ockels held inspiring speeches to the many visitors and the press.
At the end of the day a mini- race was organized in which the 4 Dutch teams raced each other for 10 laps. Wubbo Ockels gave the start signal and the auto rickshaws were off to go!  The winner of this thrilling tuktuk-chase was Hanzehogeschool Groningen! Congratulations!

Now the focus will be on the final events in India; let’s make it an even bigger success!
