Australia’s World Solar Challenge
Just finished watching “Light Speed” from Seeker YouTube channel.
“Engineering the World’s Fastest Solar Race Cars”
This 6 episode documentary covers the 2019 Bridgestone World Solar Challenge. 2019 is the most recent event, next one will be held this Oct 2023
A fascinating story about solar powered vehicles and just how difficult this 2,000 mile race is.
I highly recommend watching.
