We’re at DB Schenker picking up the car. Nathan and Sasha are working on getting the van to start, after it was starved of petrol prior to shipping.
Solar car!

All in one piece is a good thing. Solar Team Twente reported that the canopy of their car broke during shipping. They’ve repaired it as best they can, almost as good as new.
Several teams are in Darwin already, including Team Nuon, who are feverishly trying to repair their car after busting it up pretty bad during testing.
You need to get some test miles on your car. Maybe you can drive part of the way to Darwin.

TC:
You are right, Apogee would benefit from more testing. While it has several hundred Rock Solid miles logged already, more is better. They will run up some more on the road to Darwin for sure.
The shipping delay was unfortunate, but the team will recover.
The Nuna 5 crash story is heartbreaking. I wish Team Nuon all the best in their recovery.
