Given the popularity of the previous summary page in this format, here is an updated overall view of current team status for the World Solar Challenge, not including teams that have withdrawn (PI #6 and KL Uni #37). All but 8 teams are now in Australia (or at least in transit), mostly testing their cars and/or reconnoitring the race route.
This list is intended mostly for people who have not been following my regular updates and those of MostDece. It brings together new information from my country and status list and my individual team profiles (which are accessible by clicking on the 
icons below). The social media icons are clickable too, and have mouseover text explaining what they are. The pictures have mostly been updated as well, just for a bit of variety. See also my WSC wall charts of teams.
