Quantum down under
With a cutting-edge solar car named Quantum, an advanced strategy and a 16-student race crew, the U-M solar car team began its quest for the World Solar Challenge title on Sunday. The race from the northern to southern coasts of Australia covers 1,800 miles, mostly across the desert. Fans can follow Quantum's progress via real-time race coverage provided on the team’s Solar Control Panel.
