You all know how this ends, but here's what I wrote at the end of day four:
Another day of tailwinds and crosswinds let us go fast again. Luminos handles well in the wind and all there drivers said they felt safe in the wind.
We started to catch up on Twente on the segment before Coober Pedy. By Glendambo we had shaved twenty minutes off the gap between us. They broke down briefly on the way into Glendambo-as far as we could see, their rear fairings broke in the wind-and they replaced fairings and a tire at the control stop, which is against race regulations. We're waiting to see if they get a penalty for that at Port Augusta.
We camped about six minutes behind them and will be up bright and early tomorrow for what we hope will be the last day of the race for us.
