The
Solar Car Race
We live in a
mobile society. But the cars we drive require too much gas, plus they
pollute
the air. Eventually, the natural resources used to make gas will run out. So what happens
then? Many people think solar-powered
automobiles are the answer. To learn more about
this type of
transportation, teams from
universities and corporate organizations gather in
Australia every two years for a solar car race.
The race is called the
World Solar Challenge. Candidates for this
tournament must
design their own cars. The teams keep all their plans
confidential. They don’t
interact with
other teams because the race is very competitive. And these cars aren’t just
enhanced
and
modified versions of normal cars. They are completely different.
The cars only have room for one person and are very simple inside—they don’t even
have a cushion for the driver to sit on. These cars are shorter and much more flat than
normal cars. Most importantly, the cars
incorporate solar panels onto the outside that lie
