This picture set covers the 97-99 Daedalus Project, during which Daedalus was designed, built, tested and raced in Sunrayce 99.

Aerodynamic analysis of body by Sunrayce sponsor EDS
CAD Drawing of the front suspension design - and no the tire wasn't really green
The body nearing completion in our 4th-floor lab (it was real fun getting it down)
The nose and sides of the body were shaped entirely by hand

A towed test-wagon was used to test front suspension components

The car charging under rare moment of sun in Sunrayce 99
This charging session was more than 150 miles from the race route (there was no sun on the route)
Could that be sun during a charging session? This is in the huge bowl called Loew's Motor Speedway
