text: The race on the gold surface was won by the Swiss team that crossed the finish line first after covering a distance of 133 nanometers.
  On the silver surface, the vehicle of the Austrian-American team from Rice University and the University of Graz set the first speed record with a peak speed of 95 nanometers per hour, and was ranked equally with the Swiss team which raced on the gold surface, given that motion of the same nanocar on silver surfaces are slower than on gold surfaces. This vehicle was remotely controlled from the Toulouse race hall on the University of Graz microscope. Specific properties of the chemical structure as well as a completely new manipulation technique (without time-consuming imaging steps) rendered this nanocar very fast. These properties even allowed it to complete a distance of more than 1000 nm after completion of the official race track.
  The American team from Ohio University turned back for no apparent reason after 20 nanometers, the German team broke 2 vehicles without being able to restart, and the Japanese team ended up giving up. The French team lost sight of its vehicle on its surface area, and was also obliged to abandon, comforting itself with the symbolic prize of "the most elegant car in the competition".
