Patience is proving the biggest lesson of all in Team New Zealand's latest quest to become the world No.1.
They're attempting to break a land speed world record, but Mother Nature keeps getting in the way.
On the land of the long white salt lake in South Australia, a strange-looking, speedy piece of New Zealand appears. With America's Cup skipper Glenn Ashby at the helm, their world record attempt is powered by wind and patience.
"Unfortunately, the breeze didn't quite blow as much as we were hoping to, but still managed to clock around 156kph," Ashby said.
The practice runs are few and far between, forever at the mercy of Mother Nature and Australia's La Niña rains, driving in a four-wheel-drive through the puddles on the lake.
The carefully planned operation is not always smooth sailing, with Team NZ working with tyres and suspension for the first time, and even dried salt.
The small team has big dreams to once again prove why New Zealand dominates on the world stage.
