13 September 2003    (Test Run #3)
M5 Motorway

Back to WSC 2003 (Main)

The testing run departed Solarch at 11am, making its usual sprint along the M5 motorway in a bid to test both the endurance of new solar car drivers and the reliability of the latest car upgrades. Despite having to battle roaring winds (a scary prospect for Martin, one of the new the solar car drivers), the car traveled just over 200km in a round trip reaching within 50km of Canberra. The testing run uncovered a small number of issues to be dealt with in preparation for WSC, but was on the whole extremely successful. The team packed up at sunset (5.45pm) before returning UNSW Sunswift II to its home at Solarch.
