World Solar Challenge(WSC) Teams before and after the race fight the many difficulties. that is race preparations, producing cars, transporting the team and vehicle.. It's all about energy management. Based on the original notion that a 1000W car would complete the journey in 50 hours, solar cars are allowed a nominal 5kW hours of stored energy, which is 10% of that theoretical figure. All other energy must come from the sun or be recovered from the kinetic energy of the vehicle.

      The race starts with the first lighs of the day and ends with the sunset. After the day, teams stop for the their requirements and then camp for the resting the drivers where is the roadside on the big Australian deserts. During the race, WSC teams have 2 escort vehicle, one of them follow the solar vehicle and the another one goes front of the solar vehicle because of the reporting any accident will occur. Also teams have to rent trailer (or cargo glider) because of the requirements for the camp and solar vehicles..

The abroad universites like Michigan, Stanford, Tokai, Cambridge will participate the race with big exertion and big level of budget. These year from Turkey 4 participants are going to the WSC. That list is like that:

Anadolu University (Eskişehir), Uludağ University (Bursa), Dokuz Eylül University (İzmir) ve Istanbul Technical University (İstanbul). These table is honour of the Turkey.
