Bridgestone world solar challenge
Durham University has completed the challenge for the first time in the team’s history and was the highest ranking British team to finish in the Challenger class in 2023.
For over 30 years, the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge has welcomed the greatest minds from around the world to Australia to push the limits of technological innovation and travel over 3000 km through the outback only powered by the sun.

“Solar car is a team that pushes you to grow, and I owe my credibility as an engineer to the team.
It’s real. It’s tough. It’s rewarding. One of the most exhilarating and unique experiences a student will see.”
