Battling through the cold, wind, and rain, Affinity reached the finish line at John O'Groats at 17:00 on Sat 14th June, sparking celebrations from the CUER team and huge interest from everyone else in John O'Groats at the time.
CUER would like to thank all our sponsors and supporters for making this possible.
The team is currently on the road back to Cambridge, with a final stop planned in York City Centre this afternoon and an outreach event at Bootham School tomorrow morning. We're planning to drive Affinity through Cambridge City Centre tomorrow, around 4pm, and hope to see lots of people there.
Testing of Affinity took place on Friday at Alconbury RAF airfield. Aerodynamic performance of the prototype vehicle was assessed using equipment from Chell Instruments, allowing on-board pressure measurements to be recorded. Overall system performance was also investigated using our Tritium motor controller and meteorological data was obtained using equipment from Prodata Weather Systems. The day's testing will assist in the design of our new vehicle, which is currently underway at the Engineering Department.
Sponsorship packages are now available for our new solar racing car, for the World Solar Challenge 2009. Details can be found in our 
Affinity and the team are currently on their way back to Cambridge, and will be driving the car through the City Centre back to the engineering department this afternoon, going through the centre at about 4pm.
