@ScientificGems @GiangiacomoMin1 that's fair, but i'm not sure if WSC knows what the Cruiser Class is supposed to be about either

"the purpose of a system is what it does", so the current cruiser class's purpose appears to be "make cars with bigger batteries every cycle that still fail to drive to Adelaide"

[Most Dece @most_dece]

one last WSC post: way too many thoughts on the cruiser class. race format, what the rules seem to incentivize the teams to do, some monday-morning quarterbacking, yada yada yada

WSU ahead of Eclipse and Durham at Port Augusta, and less that 30 minutes behind Kogakuin and JU! yeah get it @WestSydSolarCar!!!

[Most Dece @most_dece]

really been interesting to watch WSU (4th line from the bottom) pick up the pace over the past 500km... if they can keep up that pace today, they have a real chance of passing four (!) cars very soon and sliding up into 7th place.

[Innoptus Solar Team @solarteam_be]

A malfunctioning latch caused the left wheel cover to fly off after a gust of wind, caused by a passing road train

[Innoptus Solar Team @solarteam_be]

Had to do quick halt procedure due to issue with latch on left wheel cover; issue fixed within 1 minute & back on the road #BWSC2023

[Most Dece @most_dece]

confirmed both are in the trailers 😔😔😔

[Most Dece @most_dece]

did Sunswift and Minnesota both run out of juice? they've both been parked for a bit, nowhere near a control stop

uhhhhh what happens if no cruiser teams finish the second stage
