  • Exactly one year ago, we became World Champions in solar racing for the very first time in the history of our team! During the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge, university teams from all over the world compete in a challenging race that takes them 3021 kilometres through the Australian outback, propelled forward only by the energy of the sun.
    Sit back and enjoy our 3021 kilometre journey in this unforgetable adventure from 2019!

I came here from UA-cam Premium and I was blown away by how your car just sailed through the wind like it was nothing. Or when the car did the 360° after it was hit by the dust devil and you could still keep driving. What an incredible feat of engineering.

    Quick technical question:
    Are mirrors allowed to increase the power output of the solar cells?
    I know the size of the solar cells is limited, but you could potentially work around that with a mirror.
    Partial mirroring would also be extremely useful for the cabin glass, since heat management seemed to be a major problem in the cabin.
