NBC 5 and the Solar Car Challenge Foundation invite you to come out and see this year’s team of students and their solar cars on Wednesday, July 13, at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth. You do not want to miss seeing these incredible cars before they race their way to Minneapolis!
The Solar Car Challenge is a cross country event beginning Sunday, July 17, at the Northwest ISD Administration building just west of Texas Motor Speedway. The race ends Saturday, July 23, at Seagate Technologies in Shakopee, Minnesota.
The 2016 Race will feature a new racing division: the Electric-Solar Powered Car. This division features a two-passenger electric car powered by permanent charging stations and brings “realism” to solar car racing!
The Solar Car Challenge is designed to motivate students in science, engineering and alternative energy. Students learn how to design, engineer, build and race roadworthy solar cars. Workshops, curriculum materials and on-site visits help support the teams.
