OK, so who owns the movie rights to this story? Does anyone recall that movie about a high school entry in some solar powered race? Race took place in Australia, plenty of drama, routing for the underdog, pitted against the best of the corporate world and university level.

Lots of similarities here. kind of a 'Cool Runnings' vibe as well. I think this story could make a good movie. They have some success getting into the second round of X prize, even real potential of a win, but some details hold them back. They overcome that, and win the Green Grand Prix. That the car looks awesome won't hurt either.
