The spectators at the Australian Solar challenge is not exactly a great example GT4.
People are interested, butit's over 3000km and the total enroute population (ie not including Darwin and Adelaide) would probably not exceed 50,000.
A couple of years back I was in a place called Elliot in the NT (pop 64) and there were around 2000 people there to watch. Same sort of crowd at Daly Waters I'm told. With them all driving Landcruisers or Patrols they are not your typical eco green group either.
I think there is a tendency to underestimate how interested people are in something that is technically advanced and different. Or is that just us Aussies?
