UM Solar, WSC day two of the race

The guys (and gal) from UM Solar are in the outback.

Over 30 teams will compete in The Veolia World Solar Challenge, which begins on October 16th in Darwin.
The teams will race 1800 miles through the Australian Outback. Throughout the race the teams will be entirely self-sufficient and will camp in the outback during the four days of the race.
If the University of Michigan Solar Car Team wins this race, they will be the first American Student Team to win the World Solar Challenge.
Every project it takes about $1.2 million to run the Solar Car Team. 




You can see by the vid that the Nomads are coming in handy for them!
Will keep you updated
