World Solar Challenge

The World Solar Challenge is race of solar cars across the Australian continent.

Teams entering the challenge are required to research, build and design vehicles capable of completing the 3000 kilometre journey from tropical Darwin in the Northern Territory, to cosmopolitan Adelaide in South Australia. Their vehicles must be powered only by the sun.

The World Solar Challenge is undoubtedly one of the great scientific adventures of our time. Since 1987, this event has celebrated educational and technical excellence, and drawn attention to the imperatives of sustainable transport.

It's an energy efficiency challenge, all about creating a balance between sustainable speed and endurance, energy management and strategic planning.

Known as the 'brain sport' of our time, the World Solar Challenge draws competitors from all over the world. It's a celebration of achievement, courage and scientific knowledge.

Watch these space age cars race toward a cleaner future!
