At 8am it is hot and sunny at the start of the race. The cars are all lined up in qualifying order. Infinium is the 6th car in line and will start at 8:35am with Sudeep at the wheel.
The scene is energetic. A band plays in the background as people pass by and look at the many different car designs. The croud is a mix of media, curious Darwin locals, parents, and fans of the teams. The parking lot is full of excited chatter in many different languages.
It is hard to believe that it has been two years since Continuum's race in the 2007 World Solar Challenge. The Infinium team members have spent countless hours and made so many sacrifices. All for this day.
Thank you to all of our sponsors, parents, friends, fans, and all the Infinium team members in Ann Arbor. It takes a huge amount of support to arrive at the start line. We are looking forward to making you proud.
Thank you also to the fans that made the trip all the way to Darwin to follow the team during the race. Your enthusiastic spirit has been with us all week. Singing Hail to the Victors yesterday wouldn't have been Big House worthy without our 24-strong cheering squad!
Go Fast. Go Smooth. GO BLUE!
