World Solar Challenge - Darwin to Adelaide

A road race like no other – with cars totally reliant on the sun.

Known as the 'brain sport' of our time, the World Solar Challenge participants will traverse more than 3,000 kilometres of the Australian continent from tropical Darwin to Adelaide, in cars powered by nothing more than the sun. The 'Challenge', to design and build a car capable of crossing Australia on the power of daylight, utilizes and showcases the most innovative research and development of alternative transport technologies. Attracting teams and individuals from corporations and universities all over the world, the World Solar Challenge is a celebration of achievement, courage and the application of scientific knowledge in the field of solar technology. The space age cars which travel at various speeds on the sun's radiation and human's ingenuity alone give people an appreciation of a cleaner, better future using solar energy.
