Endeavour comes in 14th after 1616 solar kilometres

The CUER team has made it to Adelaide with Endeavour, having crossed this vast continent in six and a half days. Despite being plagued with battery problems, Endeavour managed to achieve 14th place out of 26 cars in the Challenge Class. She crossed Australia doing 1616km under solar power, more than half the race distance. The full results can be seen here.

The week of racing has been a tremendous experience for the CUER team. We have crossed some of the most unforgiving landscapes in the world, whilst battling with a failing battery pack that continually threatened Endeavour's ability to drive at all. Thanks to the dedicated hard work of the team and the huge support we have received from all our sponsors, advisors and fans across the world, Endeavour rode into Adelaide on Saturday at 13:20 and crossed the finish line under solar power.
