Dutch sun runners lead pack to Alice. :
"Last year's winner, Dutch vehicle Nuna III, arrived in Alice Springs first this afternoon with a lead of about an hour."
The front runners are really motoring this year and are at the half way mark. 1500 Km. Not a bad effort for solar cars!! The fast ones are getting up to 90-100 kmh. The Dutch, last year's winners, are at the front followed by the University of Michigan team. Our Aussie Victorian team is third. For some cars and teams it is more than enough they finish the challenge because it's 3000 Km of prime challenge!! Germany's Helio Det has had to retire. The teams are full of Outback spirit. They breed 'em tough out there! The cars are quite amazing in design and speed. There is hope for us at the petrol pump yet!
