Solar Team Twente is preparing for the 2011 World Solar Challenge, starting on Sunday 16 October. The World Solar Challenge has been held yearly since 1987 and showcases new advanced automotive technology which is based on sustainable energy. Participants race across Australia from west to east in a self-built, solar-powered car. The first test drive with the 21Connect went smoothly, after which practical matters were attended to, from cleaning wheel covers to stocking up on convoy vehicle supplies. Follow Solar Team Twente and their progress on their blog.
