At the Polígono de La Vega circuit, Team Cantabria’s electric cars took both basic categories at the Reinosa Urban Race. The students from IES Montesclaros and IES Fuente Fresnedo finished ahead of rivals from Spain and Portugal.
In the F24 race, Team Cantabria completed 91 laps, covering 53.690 kilometers. Four other teams competed, all finishing behind. In F24+, Cantabria’s car completed 87 laps, beating six competitors. The wins earned the team basic points for both the Spanish and European Greenpower championships.
The Reinosa Urban Race was a qualifying round for both championships and attracted teams from five regions, Europa Press reported. Teams came from Cantabria, Euskadi, Asturias, Navarra and Portugal. With the race counting as a European qualifier, every lap mattered to the young engineers and drivers.
Team Cantabria’s next races will be in Navarra and Cartagena. The team has five races lined up across Spain for the 2026/27 season and is weighing a return to the annual European championship in the United Kingdom, where it has raced twice before. A third trip is possible.
The regional education authority supports the Greenpower project through the Dirección General de Formación Profesional. Vocational teachers design and refine the prototypes, while students take on driving and operational roles. Teachers and students also work side by side through the cars’ design and construction, then race them. As reported earlier, Spain is still catching up to northern Europe in electric mobility, though the gap is closing.
Team Cantabria’s results in Reinosa show Spanish student engineers raising their ambitions through performances against international teams. With steady support and more time on the track, the young builders are preparing to challenge leaders in electric vehicle new idea.
