Solar Cars Race Across Australia




A pack of oddly shaped cars powered only by the suns rays are currently racing through the Australian outback, vying to be the first to complete the 1,860-mile course. The World Solar Challenge, now in its tenth year, is a grueling, three-day slog in which the cars race for nine hours each day, with the teams camping by the roadside each night.

This year's race attracted 38 teams from 17 countries including Australia, the United States, the Netherlands, Iran, Taiwan, and Japan. Click through the gallery for photos of some leading competitors.

The Indian Challenger?
Indian Armed Forces need to take on the challenge of racing with solar powered cars. The EME and Corps of Signals are capable of fabricating one in their workshops for the next International event.
