Short Term Car Insurance

Supercars are on track msnbc.com

After months of technologizing and tinkering, dozens of next-generation automobiles are converging on a Michigan speedway for the first round of on-track tests leading to $10 million in prizes. For some teams, this may be the end of the road.

"It's certainly possible that some teams may not make it all the way through shakedown," Eric Cahill, senior director of the Progressive Insurance Automotive X Prize, told me today from the Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, Mich.

Twenty-eight teams from around the world - ranging from high-school and college students to backyard inventors and honest-to-goodness automakers - are bringing 36 super-fuel-efficient vehicles to the speedway for this first phase of the X Prize competition.

It's not really a race ... at least not yet. This initial shakedown phase is aimed merely at finding out whether the cars are safe and roadworthy for the trials to come.

Over the next two weeks, inspectors will be checking out the cars, and then giving the go-ahead for drive-arounds of up to 50 miles. No scores will be given. No standings will be announced. But even though the shakedown phase is pass/fail, it will give competitors their first opportunity to see how their cars stack up against rivals.
