Welcome
to official website for the University of Arizona solar racing team!
The team successfully completed the 2008 North American Solar
Challenge, a timed 2400 mile race from Dallas, Texas to Calgary,
Alberta. We finished 10th out of an initial field of 24 teams. We
also participated in the Shell Eco-marathon Americas 2009 (Urban
Challenege class), and will be competing again this year Shell
Eco-marathon Americas 2010, which is March 26-28, 2010 in Houston,
Texas.

We are always looking for sponsors. If you would like to sponsor the
team or adopt a cell, check out the contributions section.
There, you can view our current sponsors and learn how you can be one
of our sponsors! Also, a special thanks to Solon for their
generous support!
Each
team must make eight laps around a speedway and maintain an average of
15 mph. Urban Concept cars will also make three 10-second stops along
the way. Marshals will inspect the cars and determine which went the
farthest distance on the least amount of energy.
