Before shipping Silvretta off, we took it to Thun for an intense full-day test from 5:30 to 22:30, simulating a real race day. It was an important day that allowed us to:
• See Silvretta in action;
• Identify areas for improvement;
• Practice the roles and routines we will each have during the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge.
While the road and climate conditions in Thun aren’t exactly like the Australian Outback, the extreme heat that day gave us a solid test environment and valuable insights.
Next stop: Australia, with more tests ahead!
