Japan's Tokai Challenger won this year's Adelaide, Australia Solar Challenge and despite an horrendous crash, the four-time Netherlands' Delft University team, 'Nuna 5', still managed a second-place finish.
The much-vaunted MIT entrant, Eleanor, faded to fifth place, but the U.S. was well represented by a third-place finish from a University of Michigan team. Sunswift IV, a homey from New South Wales, finished fourth.
All the entrants are powered only by the sun, and the Tokai Challenger averaged over 100 km per hour to win the 3000 km Darwin-to-Adelaide race.
