The \u2018Nuon Solar Team\u2019 continues to dominate the solar race across Australia that started in Darwin and will finish in Adelaide.\u00a0 Racing without conventional combustion engines, the various teams from around the world converged on Darwin having built their vehicles as completely solar-powered electric machines.<\/p>\n

There are three categories that are completing the journey.\u00a0 The first being the quickest team to complete the 3000 km race distance \u2013 this race is known as the \u2018Challenger Class\u2019.<\/p>\n

The second class is the known as the \u2018Cruiser Class\u2019, where there are points given to the teams for the number of passengers on board, the amount of energy that they are using in terms of the number of battery recharges that are occurring throughout the journey and the general practicality of the car.\u00a0 Being a part of the \u2018Cruiser Class\u2019, the points aren\u2019t all about speed.<\/p>\n

Finally, the third category is known as the \u2018Adventure Class\u2019 which is the non-competitive class, allowing cars built for previous races of the event to run again – usually with new team members.\u00a0 The \u2018Adventure Class\u2019 can also be used as a catchment for those who, while meeting the exacting safety standards, may not have quite made full compliance with the latest race requirements.\u00a0 This is the category with the more laid-back travel style.<\/p>\n

At the end of day three: the quickest team competing in the \u2018Challenger Class\u2019 is the \u2018Nuon Solar Team\u2019 from Holland.<\/p>\n

Just over halfway through the race and there will still be plenty of challenges ahead for all race competitors.\u00a0 One of the major influences on how well a car performs in this race is the amount of sunshine there will be.\u00a0 Cloudy days do impact the speed and progress of the cars.<\/p>\n

This is an exciting race held here in Australia that is sponsored by Bridgestone, and it\u2019s these sort of races that enable the evolution of production cars being run on electricity and solar energy.\u00a0 If you can, get out and have a look at the cars as they silently run into Adelaide in a few days time. http:\/\/credit-n.ru\/offers-zaim\/moneza-online-zaym.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
