SIUE Solar Racing Team

ed in four racing events. In the 2015 Formula Sun Grand Prix, our solar car drove over 225 miles on the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas. We are currently building a new car, to compete in the 2023 Electrek Formula Sun Grand Prix. Through donations and sponsorships, we are able to research new technologies, develop engineering fabrication and design skills, and most importantly, build a solar car. The SIUE Solar Car Team is conducting ongoing research in fabrication, electric motor efficiency and speed testing. Competing in competitions such as the Formula Sun, allows us to showcase all of our hard work. PUBLIC OUTREACH
Our solar car team participates in a number of public and community outreach events. These events allow us to share our knowledge of solar power and emerging technologies to children, young adults, and the general public. These opportunities also allow us to promote our amazing sponsors.
