To summarize that article, The University of Michigan Solar Car Team reached 105 mph at Ford's Proving Ground in 2010.
It looks like they never officially called Guinness, so that's why their record isn't in the books.
(I used to be the project manager of the team back in the late 90's... you can see our car at Boston's Museum of Science.) :)
- illumen 16y agoDid they follow all the rules? Or were they assisted by wind in one direction? It's not just the act of not calling the record keepers - it is following the rules, and having people make sure that there is no funny business going on.
- fnazeeri 16y agoIt's a solar only record without any battery assist. Also, they don't control for weather somifnthere was more sun one day that's justntoo bad..
- fnazeeri 16y agoBTW Jed, I heard they're pulling the car from the Bos MOS display and sending back to A2. :-(
- jedc 16y agoSeriously? Any info as to when?
