The Veolia World Solar Challenge, pioneered by the South Australian Tourism Commission is one the most prestigious events of its kind and attracts the world’s best Technical Universities and Colleges. This event is one of epic proportions that challenges teams from around the world to design and build a car to travel 3,000km across a continent using only the power of the sun. Since its inception in 1987 the Veolia World Solar Challenge has gained worldwide appeal from both participants and media and is now regarded as one of the most challenging tests. The 2011 event is shaping up to be one of the biggest events with 39 teams qualifying from 20 countries across the globe and set to participate in this momentous challenge. The Challenge will begin in State Square, Darwin on October 16 at 8am and ends at the finish line in Adelaide from Wednesday, 19 October 2011. The cars and teams will then be welcomed in Victoria Square in the centre of Adelaide from Thursday October 20. |
