Today we did dynamic scrutineering and our hot lap. Ian shaved three seconds off his best time to finish in 2:07.7. This puts us in third place for the start of the race, behind Kogakuin University (2:06.8) and Arrow (2:00.1).
Twente did their hot lap in 2:10. Nuon did a fairly slow hot lap and failed the brake test. They just now passed. Tokai spun their car once on their practice lap and again on their hot lap. They had to do a five point turn to get back onto the straight, and finished in 2:48. Michigan will also be behind us at the start of the race tomorrow.
At 8:00 the Cruiser class cars will start the race, one minute apart from each other. Challenger cars will start at 8:30.
Update: Tokai did 2:46.71. All of the times are at http://www.worldsolarchallenge.org/dashboard/timing.
ReplyDeleteTokai is starting 20th, Nuon 13th, and Michigan 5th. We expect them all to go fast once they get out into the open, but getting a good starting position matters for not having to pass slower convoys. We are very happy with our time.

ReplyDeleteYou guys back home have more information than we do. Someone back there can write a post. We're busy at control stops and don't have internet in the evening.
