GM Sunrayce USA
In July 1990, 32 teams of some of North America's brightest college students took to the road in solar-powered vehicles they had built during the previous year and a half.[1] The GM Sunrayce USA route covered more than 1,800 miles, from Florida to Michigan.[2] Three of the top finishers won a trip to Australia in November to compete in the 1990 World Solar Challenge.

gollark: I'm probably missing something. But I don't know what.
gollark: This is annoying, my phone arrived (thanks, Jeff Bezos™) and I've tried to flash TWRP, but while there weren't any errors it seems to... not actually have booted into TWRP, it just loads the stock recovery for some reason.
gollark: No, I mean the spacing in your code.
