Did 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.

It'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..

BTW Jed, I heard they're pulling the car from the Bos MOS display and sending back to A2. :-(

I do know that in the races these cars are designed to compete in, the top teams regularly run at the speed limits: 130 km/h in the (Australia) World Solar Challenge, 65 mph in the (USA) American Solar Challenge; not sure about the South African or Japanese races. If for some reason Guinness doesn't have that recorded, then perhaps one of the competitors in those races should invite them?
