As we moved steadily south towards Adelaide the
temperature slowly dropped. Friday morning was a struggle to get up and out of
our sleeping bags with an outside temperature of about 10°C! But with our last
night of camping behind us, and the last day of the race before us we all
crawled out of bed and got started to our respective morning jobs.
8am we hit the road raring to go, with no need
to worry about draining the solar car battery, and 2 teams in front of us we
had hopes to catch up to, we averaged a speed between 80-90 km/h. We soon left
the peaceful small town road and scenery behind us and hit Adelaide traffic
with no other teams in sight - likely also having pushed their cars to the max.
We finished the race though! Over 3000 km
through the Australian outback, the car (and team) have successfully completed
the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge as a first time entrant! Wow was the team
happy when we crossed that finish line! An absolutely incredible feeling!
After having some photos the car was pulled
forward so that the battery pack could be checked for tampering, and then the
car was moved to the viewing tent where the public could ooh and aah over the
amazing Hulamin! Soon thereafter the exhausted team split up to head to our
Adelaide accommodation for a well-earned hot shower and sleep in a proper bed!
This has been a hard yet exhilarating journey,
but it has come to an end. Cheers, Minke
