I have realistic expectations for tech advancements. Car 1, cool. BJ is right though, wtf’s up with a motorcycle? If it came with a gyro it’d be different, does it?

Did the Campagna T-Rex compete? It would appear to be in the same general class as the X-Prize entries.

I’m a little upset about these results. I was under the impression X-Prize was looking to find a realistic choice for consumers, not simply a demonstration of super-light unsellable cars going really far on very little power. High schools and Universities build long-range vehicles like these all the time. I had hoped X-Prize was looking for a real alternative for a real consumer, BIG DISAPPOINTMENT.

I’d like to know more about the Tata EV entry and it’s re-charging disqualification.

As far as I am concerned the motorcycle doesn’t count as an automobile. I certainly wouldn’t attempt to drive one no matter what the mileage was. Might as well just lay down on the interstate and wait for an 18 wheeler to run over you.
