...and then there were 9...

Some pictures from the "Victory Lap" today by all the Finalists:





The WWU (second row, bottom of the bank) is now out: they could not pass the accident avoidance test withing the maximum 6 passes (they passed it on the 9th pass).

I do not yet know the status of the Edison2 #95 -- the Tandem car. It did not finish the acceleration test, nor did it attempt the accident avoidance test. (And it was not in these photos.)

Edit:

Sad news: the #95 alternative tandem blew the engine due a glitch in launch control and is out.
The Spira, Tango, amp'd Sky, and Tata (who may be appealing?) were already out -- so this would seem to leave nine vehicles in the X-Prize!
