Solarworld Racer in the 2010 American Solar Challenge

The 2010 American Solar Challenge is a competition to design, build, and drive solar-powered cars in a cross-country time/distance rally event. Teams compete in a 1100 mile drive from Broken Arrow, OK to Naperville, IL. The route has been chosen to combine pieces of old routes used in previous events, giving a bit of an historical tribute for the 20 years of organized events in North America.

Seventeen international teams from the United States, Canada, Germany, and Taiwan are registered to compete this year, including the SolarWorld No. 1 car that was created by the Bochum University of Applied Sciences in Germany.
