Gerald Chang (left) and Cole Witte work on fixing the problem after University of Michigan's Quantum pulled over on the side of the road to deal with a missing faring (wheel cover) that was blown away by the strong wind. Today was supposed to be the day of a big push on the side of the U-M's team that planned on overtaking Nuna 6 and maybe even getting close to the #1 Tokai University's Challenger. Challenger was 30 minutes ahead of both Nuna 6 and Quantum at the end of the previous day. At the end of the day and after a series of techinical issues, Quantum fell 1.5 hour behind Challenger and an hour behind Nuna6. It's day four at at the World Solar Challenge competition in Australia on Wednesday, October 19th, 2011 The cars crossed over to South Australia from Northern Territory this morning.
