We're excited to announce that our team WARR Hyperloop is the winner of the 2018 SpaceX Hyperloop Pod Competition!!!!!
We managed to go almost 50% faster than last year, reaching a final speed of 467 km/h (290 mph)!
We'd like to sincerely thank all our sponsors! pic.twitter.com/YpPTURnHp5

I am not sure what is being learned or gained from this? Wheeled land speed in excess mentioned in the article was achieved in the late 1930s. The fact that this was done in a tube is a simple novelty. Was there even a doubt that cars could go fast in a tunnel? Truthfully I don’t see how this helps develop hyperloop technology. None of the proposed hyperloop technologies where involved in the test. Other than batteries.

I agree, I keep seeing these ‘hyperloop’ stories that have nothing to do with maglev, or vacuum tunnels, or even electric propulsion in some cases. Why?
