The Dutch vehicle reached the final checkpoint at Angle Vale, Adelaide, late Thursday afternoon, having starting at Darwin on Sunday morning. Competitors from across the world raced across Australia during daylight hours but the team from the Netherlands again outstripped the opposition, clocking up their fourth consecutive World Solar Challenge. An Australian and a Belgium car are battling it out for second place but they will not reach the finish line until Friday.
Following on from Tuesday's post, today's end of week video just has to be this clip from Jobunltd about Nuna 3, the 2005 winner of the World Solar Challenge from Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands. This team also won the 2001 and 2003 events, so there was quite a bit of enthusiastic celebration at the finish and I guess that you should be warned that this includes a group mooning; I thought that mooning was quite an amusing thing to do at a solar event, kind of eclipsed everything else.
