7th World Solar Challenge Underway

Posted by michael on from the leave-only-footprints dept.

downundarob writes "At around 200310182230 UTC the World Solar Challenge will leave the start line. Entrants will traverse more than 3,000km of the Australian continent from tropical Darwin to balmy Adelaide, in cars powered by nothing more than the sun. One of the unique propositions of the World Solar Challenge is that it is run in one stage. Once competitors have left Darwin at 8am on the first day, they are on their own. Apart from compulsory stops at the seven checkpoints, each team endeavours to travel as far as it can each day, but must make camp by 5pm each evening."

    Nested Goatse.cx pop-ups. Really nice. It's jerks like this that ruin it for others who post as Anonymous Coward and are now going to get filtered by people like me trying to avoid the trolls and other jerks.
