3週間後には、渡豪。
1ヶ月後には、ピット入庫。そしてテスト開始。
レーススタートまで、40日。
Speech about the team の評判は良かったようで、大使から熱いお誉めの言葉も頂いた。
徐々に現実感が増し始めるのも、いつものこと。そしてプレッシャーも増し始める。
以下、スピーチ原文。
Our team has three features. At first, We’re going to challenge Bridgestone World Solar Challenge at the smallest number of people in the world, it includes the students who helped making our car. In the other teams, there are a lot of staff and sponsors, and each has their own specialties and roles. Meanwhile, we’re going to participate in this race only 10 individuals. Besides, we are the only high school team among the participating teams. But everyone, please do not have to worry, we already have been participating in world solar challenge with this number of people since 2009. This is our fourth year of racing.
Next, we are a high school team, so the production cost is double digit less than other teams. Our car have been designed and manufactured in poor high school facilities. After school, high school students helped us to make our car. Also materials are not collected from sponsor companies, we created it using old parts and tools that can be supplies at home centers or online. However we came in 3rd place in adventure class 2009. In the previous WSC, our team could not finish running for the first time. About 50 teams will participate in WSC, but only about 15 cars can complete the race.
Even so, we want to prove that our knowledge and efforts are not inferior compare with other teams. Our goal in this race is to run the whole race.
The third feature, there are no stickers except Bridgestone supplying our tires on our vehicles. In other words, we don’t have sponsors in product manufacturing. In recent years, there are many highly-skilled solar cars at WSC, so it is difficult to compete against these solar cars. But we want to run through the Australia continent on our own and with a vehicle that we designed and built by ourselves.
We don't have any intentions to lose against other teams.
We’d like you guys to see how much we can do. We will use all our experiences and aim for high ranking as much as possible.
Thank you very much for listening.
