After a successful day out on the track Endeavour has qualified for the Global Green Challenge 2009!

Only a flat tyre just before our brake test prevented us from getting through in one go, but one quick change later and we were given our start time of 8:15am from State Square, Darwn tomorrow morning. It was a great experience to be out in the pits at the Hidden Valley Raceway in Darwin with all the other teams with some of them looking very competitive indeed around the track. Aurora and Nuon fighting it out for fastest lap time with Aurora beating Nuon’s lap time of 2min 2secs by a significant margin. We were perhaps not the fastest at 3mins 40secs so let us be thankful that it is a stamina race! It was really exciting to see all the teams out on the track and there was a gre at sense of team spirit and sportsmanship, and only a little healthy competition!

The team are all really looking forward to setting off down the Stuart Highway and starting on our epic 3000km journey across the Outback tomorrow. It has been a long time coming in preparation and a great deal of hard work has gone into getting us this far so tomorrow will be a very exciting day for us all.

Look out for our first live race report tomorrow after Day 1 out on ‘the track’.
