[00:01.61]How many races have you taken park in?

[00:03.66]Let me think. Six.

[00:06.31]We've won two of them!

[00:08.08]Where do these races take place?

[00:10.19]Well, the one I like best crosses

[00:11.76]the whole of Australia

[00:13.67]from northwest to southeast.

[00:15.83]It's about 4,5000 km long!

[00:18.40]Wow! How long does that take?

[00:21.14]These days the fastest cars

[00:22.54]can do it in six days.

[00:24.26]And what have you been doing recently?

[00:26.81]I've been building a new car with a team

[00:28.96]from Queensland University.

[00:31.00]We've done a lot of work on it,

[00:32.39]but we haven't finished yet.

[00:34.10]And you've been writing a book about solar cars

[00:37.15]Well, so far I've only written

[00:38.80]the first few chapters!

[00:40.65]I want people to have a good impression

[00:43.05]of solar cars.

[00:44.16]But a lot of people think that solar cars

[00:46.34]are too slow or not very reliable.

[00:49.19]How can you persuade them

[00:50.49]of the advantates of solar cars?

[00:53.64]Solar cars are getting better all the time.

[00:56.33]They have reached speeds of nearly 80 k.p.h.

[00:59.78]In tests, one car we built has averaged

[01:02.33]over 40 k.p.h.,even in cloudy weather.

[01:05.81]You've been working hard-well,

[01:08.25]good luck in ther race! Thanks a lot.
