This is the Cambridge University Eco Racing teams car, Helia, leaving the centre of Adelaide a few moments ago for the final parade of the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge. It has been an epic race of 3000km from Darwin in the Northern Territory to Adelaide in South Australia. It has been an honour to share the road with these amazing solar-powered cars and to meet the teams along the way. Their engineering and imagination have been awe-inspiring.
I will be continuing my journey east to the Blue Mountains but not before I have caught up on a week of sleep.
