It's impressive because these students are breaking new ground. One competitor just said they didn't know anything about batteries in vacuum, just for one example, and had to bring in an expert on that, among other challenges.

94km/h is a first step towards 1200km/h.

It's also a short track and 1/2 scale (1/8th volume) cars making 94km/h fairly difficult.
