Summary
We passed MIT at about 3pm and are now the number 1 silicon solar car in the race! We’re 5th in the whole race, and 4th in Challenge class. MIT are about 10 minutes behind us so we feel the pressure but are running the race how IVy needs it to be done. Tomorrow will be an intense day as we want to make it into Port Augusta by 3pm, in which case we can go straight onto Adelaide. Overall we travelled 663km today at an average of about 84km/h.

Mechanical
No issues.

Electric
No issues.

Camp
We made it to Glendambo control stop. We’re camping at the camp site there and should be out of here by 8:20am. It’s going to be an exciting day.

The fact that we have so little to update on mechanical and electrical is a testament to IVy and the technical teams. The car is running fantastically, with every component on its best behaviour. Merely the fact that we have reached this point is incredible, and we are having a great time.

Keep an eye on the WSC page for our placing at the next control stop sometime tomorrow.
