Continuum Finishes!!
Continuum has now reached Adelaide and has successfully completed the 2007 World Solar Challenge! We completed the race in 46 hours and 3 minutes with an average speed of 65.09 km/hr. This puts us at 36 hours and 2 minutes not including the time lost from the accident with an average speed of 83.83 km/hr! Stay tuned for results as the Teams behind us finish the race! As soon as we hear from the race crew in Australia I'll get a more detailed update as well!
GO BLUE!

Amazing job guys. We've worked so long and so hard for this. It's a shame about the crash, but we rallied and definitely showed them what a world class team looks like. I expect to celebrate with all you in Michigan when I come back for a week for Thanksgiving.
Go Blue.

Congratz guys. Continuum's the winner in my mind.
(and for the second half of the race, Alice Springs -> Adelaide, word is that we have the fastest time)
The atmosphere was jubilant among the ten of us refreshing our browsers in a CAEN lab.
Go Blue!
Congratulations on a great finish! You have all done a terrific job and really showed how amazing your team can perform under pressure. It's been fun watching the updates, but I'm sure things are even more exciting on that side of the Pacific. Enjoy it, we're all so proud of you!

Way to go, everybody. Way to stick it out and race the car to the finish. You gained an immense amount of respect throughout the entire solar racing community.

Wish I could have been there cheering for you at the finish line, but I'm sure Beth and Jim Ignaut were trigger-happy supporters, documenting the whole thing so I'll get the full report next week.

So happy for you all!
