| The world's first - a Dutch built four-seater solar powered car. |
Each October the
petrol-powered V8 dinosaurs gather at Bathurst for what has become
traditionally known as “the great race”.
Little do the participants, organizers and fans of the
Bathurst event realise, the real “great race” began today in Darwin when 40
solar-powered cars set out to race across Australia.
Bathurst is about yesterday and Darwin is about tomorrow.
An ABC story headed: “Futuristic solar cars launch from Darwin for World Solar Challenge”, tells about years of engineering and
thousands of dollars in technology, that relies only on energy from the sun, being
tested as the cars race through the Australian desert.
