At 5a.m. on Tuesday morning, the teams assembled at campus to load the gear and most importantly thr cars.... Three hours later on the start line in Pretoria the teams were ready to go. The UJ solar team got off to a really good start travelling nearly 160 km, before a handbrake incident slowed things down.
The Hybrid cars however were off to a slow start, encountering mechanical problems on the way. This resulted in a two hour delay, incurring penalties due to late arrival at the stop point. Overall day 1 proved to be really dissapointing. However, we hope that the tables will turn for UJ today. Good luck to our boys!!!!!
We will be updating you all through our live twitter feed @ujhybridcarss or follow #SolarChallenge.
