Race the Sun Page #6

Oni, you're cold?

We're dying in here.

You feeling all right?

Yeah, just a little bit cold.

You okay? All right.

There won't be any more driving

for you today.

Captain.

Gilbert's come up with

an idea here. Tell him, Gilbert.

No, you tell him.

Well, the rest of the race

is pretty flat, right...

except for that one hill

at the finish?

So why are we running a compromise

six-to-ten gearing ratio...

when we could just switch

to a bigger drive...

say, an eight-to-ten

and go all that much faster?

Two hours and six minutes' worth,

right, Gilbert?

About.

It's your idea, Gilbert?

- Yeah.

- Let's do it.

I'm loving it, bro!

This cockroach is slamming!

Hang loose, brother!

Hey, Captain, tell Cho I'm gonna

kiss his sweet mango for this!

Just keep driving, Marco!

Come on, everybody! Let's hear it!

Kona rules!

Where do they keep coming from?

Marco, don't push it.

One at a time now.

Two-for-one special.

You got it. Watch this!

Daniel, Marco,

what is going on out there?

My gosh, what is he doing?

Getting cocky, that's what.

God!

Road train.

A road train!

Road trains!

All right, everybody,

pull over now!

- Move!

- I'm not moving!

You stupid idiot!

Out!

- Get out!

- All right, Hans!

- Hans, enough! We are losing time.

- Make sure he's all right.

Hey, look,

that was a really dumb accident.

My fault.

All I can say is I'm sorry.

- Sorry?

- Hans, let it go.

You know what is sorry?

You little cockroach...

you and that piece of sh*t car!

It was an accident, all right?

Yeah, and sh*t draws flies.

Luckily, I have bug spray.

We'll call it even.

You are worse than bugs!

You are cowards!

I don't wanna hear nothing from

you. I'm sick of you, understand?

- Take it easy, Braz.

- All he does is screw things up.

So he designed our car.

Big deal.

I'm the one who built it. I'm

the one who knows how to fix it.

I'm the one who has to fight

your fights, not you, haole.

Shut up, Braz. It has nothing to do

with being haole.

Oh, yeah? I saw you.

I saw you kissing up

to that CelTech guy.

What did you do,

maybe make a deal?

Danny Boy? Captain?

Is that what you think?

Come on, Braz.

You're way out of line here.

Maybe he's right.

Maybe I'm not cut out for this.

You want it that bad, Braz?

Take it, man. It's all yours.

Well, you heard him.

Let's go.

- How's she doing?

- Well, fever's broken.

But I don't know about tomorrow.

Looks like we're down

to two drivers.

One more day, huh?

How's it going out there?

It's a little quiet.

Too quiet, you know?

Yeah.

Here.

I'm scared.

We gotta finish this, Luana.

I know.

It's the last day of racing,

and here's where we stand...

CelTech is outside of Adelaide...

Final Day - 304 Km To Adelaide

ready to make its final sprint

to victory.

Right behind U.S. CelTech...

Air Temperature 114

Road Temperature 133

Solar Flare seems to have second.

After that,

the real question...

is whether

any of the remaining teams...

has what it takes

to finish this grueling event.

Two!

One! Go!

We're here in Adelaide...

and we're about to have a new

World Solar Challenge champ.

Let's pick up the action.

It's U.S. CelTech taking on the

steepest part of Teffley's Hill...

Solar Flare only seconds behind.

Just look at tho...

Let's just worry about ourselves.

Jack Fryman, a marvelous finish

for U.S. CelTech.

You've got to be extremely pleased

with these results.

It's always nice to see your logo

cross the finish line first.

I'm disappointed that we don't have

a clean sweep for the Americans.

However, we do have three cars

still vying for third.

You got four, Jack.

Oh, yeah. That's right.

The Hawaiians.

We are going

To Hukilau

A Huki-Huki-Huki

Huki-Huki-Huki-Hukilau

Going to Hukilau

Marco, you need to do that, man?

Everybody

- Loves Hukilau

- You're driving us all nuts, man.

Would you knock it off, please?

Out into the sea

Then we're going

To little Hukilau

- We're going

- Swimming the beat

Out into the sea

Hey, kangaroo.

What's your battery reading?

I don't know, bro.

What's yours?

Marco, do you hear me?

- What's the matter with you?

- What's the matter with you?

I think the heat's gotten to him.

Marco, pull it over, bro.

Now, you copy that, bro?

Pit stop!

Stop the car, Marco!

I'm too old for this.

Marco, are you okay?

- Did we win?

- Yeah, we won the World Series.

- Yeah!

- Sweet!

Oni, get him some water

till it's running out his gills.

- Braz, how's the car?

- Couple dents, though she's okay.

All right, come on!

Uni, it's up to you.

If it gets too hot out there,

Uni, you say so, okay?

I don't want you sick.

You can do it, Uni.

Downhill, Uni. Watch your speed.

Copy that? Take the turns slowly.

Ease the brake in.

You're doing fine.

You're doing great.

Braz, I smell something.

- Marco.

- Hey, shut up.

Uh, just try not to think about it,

all right?

No, really.

Do you see anything wrong?

Not from here.

- Do you see anything, Teach?

- Negative.

You look great.

Braz, the gauges just went dead.

There's smoke.

You guys, there's something wrong!

Fire!

- Oh, my God!

- Tell her to stop the car!

I can't see!

Tell her to stop!

Tell her to slow down!

Tell her hit the breaks!

Braz, the brakes aren't working!

Help me, somebody!

Hang on, Uni!

Help! Help, someone! Please!

Come on!

- Get the latch!

- It's on fire, man!

- Help!

- Hold on!

- It's stuck! It won't budge!

- Push the thing!

Help me!

Lay down, Uni! Lay down!

Hey, I got you. It's okay.

- Gilbert, bring her over here.

- Look out. Move, move!

If any solar team ever symbolized

the spirit of this race...

it was these kids from Kona...

by far, the youngest crew ever...

to participate

in the World Solar Challenge.

Everyone in the race has got to be

enormously proud...

of their valiant efforts.

Absolutely. It's just a shame...

we won't get to see them

cross the finish line.

To recap, the solar team

from Kona, Hawaii...

is finally having to call it quits.

Hans, did you hear that?

Gautier,

I was wrong about one thing...

there is a God.

It runs. We can still make it.

Well.

Not by itself, it can't.

We're out of drivers.

- What about Marco?

- Marco?

- That's too dangerous.

- Then Oni?

She can't get back in that car.

Look at her.

Look, we already proved ourselves.

We'd only kill ourselves.

What about me? I'll drive.

- You're not a driver.

- But I am. Tell him, Marco.

But he is. Well, he was.

I am.

Gilbert...

the car won't budge

with you riding in it.

So I'm sorry.

It just won't work.

All right?

Look, I know you had your heart

set on finishing this race.

So did I. That's why we came.

But it's over. It's over.

You have nothing to be ashamed of.

You know, we're the first...

the only high school team...

to ever run in this race.

That puts you...

each and every one of you...

in the record books.

Think about that.

Hang on to that...

because that's forever.

And one more thing.
