During Solaride’s second season, a next-generation solar car was designed and built, and it was put to the test at the 2023 Bridgestone World Solar Challenge (BWSC 2023), the World Solar Car Championship held in Australia in October. It was a chance to achieve the impossible!
Solaride entered the competition against the world’s top universities, many of which have years of experience.
Extreme heat, rugged terrain, and unpredictable road conditions await the 3,000 km race from Darwin to Adelaide.
The teams will complete the journey in approximately one week, starting each day at sunrise and camping where the sun sets at 17:00. It is a journey that will challenge not only the technical abilities of the team members but also their morale and mental stamina.
