A group of Canterbury University engineering students hasĀ been working on a unique project which they hope will bring them a world record. Inspired by the legendary kiwi racer Burt Munro, they've spent a year designing and building an electric land speed car and will be taking it to the salt flats of Lake Gairdner in South Australia next March to race. It's the first electric land speed car made by an undergrad university team anywhere in the world. The University's Motorsport Team prinicipal Kaenan Ferguson talks to Jesse.
