Four teams have passed the Alice Springs checkpoint in the Darwin to Adelaide World Solar Car Challenge.

Last year's winner, Dutch vehicle Nuna III, arrived in Alice Springs first this afternoon with a lead of about an hour.

The US team from Michigan arrived in the central Australian town in second place, closely followed by Aurora from Melbourne and Sky Ace Tiga from Japan.

Germany's Helio Det is the first team to retire from the race.

The car failed to arrive at two checkpoints within the allocated times.

The race began yesterday.
