ozmanjusri's Journal: Nuna4 leads World Solar Challenge

The Dutch Nuon team's Nuna4 car looks like winning the World Solar Challenge from Belgium's Umicar Infinity and Australia's Aurora 101.

The annual solar car race between Darwin, in Australia's Northern Territory, and Adelaide, 3,000km away in South Australia, started on Sunday, and included a rest day on Tuesday. It looks like the leading cars will cross the line late Thursday or early Friday, and independent observers suggest many competitors will be cracking a Coopers or two to celebrate.
