Also too bad the Belgian car crashed and was totaled on the first day of the race. The went from 9th to 2nd place and had the Japanese in sight but then crashed due to a sudden strong wind and drove into a tree. Very tough luck :s]]>Nov 2nd 2009 11:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/japanese-team-takes-top-prize-at-world-solar-challenge/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/japanese-team-takes-top-prize-at-world-solar-challenge/
Well, there you go! the other solar cars which meant to be driven outside wasn't able to handle the wind and therefore crash. It's all fair game when natural element is part of the competition. You're making it sound like the japanese team didn't deserved to win since they invent Gundam. ]]>Nov 2nd 2009 11:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/japanese-team-takes-top-prize-at-world-solar-challenge/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/japanese-team-takes-top-prize-at-world-solar-challenge/Nov 2nd 2009 1:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/japanese-team-takes-top-prize-at-world-solar-challenge/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/japanese-team-takes-top-prize-at-world-solar-challenge/Nov 2nd 2009 7:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/japanese-team-takes-top-prize-at-world-solar-challenge/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/japanese-team-takes-top-prize-at-world-solar-challenge/Nov 2nd 2009 10:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/japanese-team-takes-top-prize-at-world-solar-challenge/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/japanese-team-takes-top-prize-at-world-solar-challenge/Nov 2nd 2009 11:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/japanese-team-takes-top-prize-at-world-solar-challenge/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/japanese-team-takes-top-prize-at-world-solar-challenge/Nov 2nd 2009 11:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/japanese-team-takes-top-prize-at-world-solar-challenge/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/japanese-team-takes-top-prize-at-world-solar-challenge/

Which comment was racist?

Did you watch last week's South Park episode? The Japanese actually DO kill dolphins and whales.

Oh, and they're small. I've visited Tokyo recently, and while there were some people taller than me (I'm 5'9), they're still generally certainly much, much smaller than us fat americans.]]>Nov 2nd 2009 1:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/japanese-team-takes-top-prize-at-world-solar-challenge/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/japanese-team-takes-top-prize-at-world-solar-challenge/Nov 2nd 2009 1:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/japanese-team-takes-top-prize-at-world-solar-challenge/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/japanese-team-takes-top-prize-at-world-solar-challenge/I'm talking about Carl: How does the Japanese have any "unfair" advantage in size? It's not like the Belgians are all fat giants either. Why is should anyone be surprised by the fact that the team won? I'd like to tell some of these people to stop with the racist, negative stereotypes already, but all one can do is either ignore it or call them out.]]>Nov 2nd 2009 3:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/japanese-team-takes-top-prize-at-world-solar-challenge/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/japanese-team-takes-top-prize-at-world-solar-challenge/Nov 2nd 2009 7:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/japanese-team-takes-top-prize-at-world-solar-challenge/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/japanese-team-takes-top-prize-at-world-solar-challenge/

why no links to Michigan's team but link to MIT? After all they are the best placing American team, from a University no less.
