Japan’s Tokai Challenger solar vehicle has taken victory against a strong international field in the 2009 Global Green Challenge. After covering almost 1860 miles (3000km) in four days across Australia’s baking red center, the entry from Japan’s Tokai University crossed the finish line at 3.39pm local time.
