I certainly remember his name and do recall seeing him on campus. I graduated in '85 and was there during that time.

Are you an NEDian?

yes.....they were sponsored for the Annual solar car rally in australia, but that was a bad experience for them....Long story.

...in the end , they had to cut short the rally, and return
leaving the rally half-way.

even then they were at about 67-69 Postion out of 130-140 participants...

Attique Shafaat is mentioned in - History of the Electric Automobile: Hybrid Electric Vehicles By Ernest Henry Wakefield

Page 227 - 228 describes Attique Shafaat and also have pictures of his automobile - The Solar Samba was the name of the car.

To read about it you can use Google Books as this book is a part of the library. You can also find it on SAE website - http://www.sae.org/technical/books/R-187
