Neon's Nuna 6 drives away, gaining quickly on the University of Michigan's Quantum that had to pull 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 that was 30 minutes ahead of both Nuna 6 and Quantum at the end of the previous day. 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.
