Good news for the by VIRO sponsored Solar teams from Groningen and Twente, they can go racing this year! Top Dutch Solar Racing from Groningen and Solar Team Twente had a bitter pill to swallow when earlier this year the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge in Australia was cancelled due to corona. Now both teams can focus on the Solar Challenge Morocco 2021. All the hard work they put into their solar cars is now not for nothing.
The race in Morocco is planned for October, and consists of 5 stages spread over 5 days. In total, the Solar teams will have to cover 2500 kilometres with 8.2 kilometres difference in altitude. The race starts and ends in the harbour city of Agadir and leads through the rough landscape of the Sahara. At this moment 10 teams from all over the world have already registered.
We wish all participants a fantastic race!
