Bridgestone world solar challenge
In 2023, Durham University completed the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge for the first time in the team’s history, finishing as the highest ranking British team in the Challenger class.
For over 30 years, the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge has welcomed teams of students from around the world to Australia, to push the limits of technological innovation and race over 3000 km through the outback powered solely by the sun.
