PRESS RELEASE 2: SCRUTINEERING

Great news : Eos - The Spiriit of Unley has just passed scrutineering, except for a minor glitch!

After checking weights, eye height, safety and licences of the drivers, the car was tested for registration compliance. Unfortunately the tail lights were not working, so the support team will have to fix them tonight, before tomorrow's time trials. Hopefully the problem is just a loose wire. The car passed electrical compliance and battery checks with flying colours!

This evening, the team has been invited to attend an Old Scholar's Function at the MGM Grand (former Scholar Melissa Paterson is in charge of PR there). They plan to make the most of their last 2 days of luxury provided by the sponsorship of Mediterranean All Suites Hotel, before taking off for Adelaide bright and early Sunday morning.

Check tomorrow's Advertiser for an article about the World Solar Challenge - Peter was interviewed about our car, which has proved to be of great interest for other participants and the population of Darwin, because it is so differnent from the other competitors.

Next bulletin after the race starts!
