About The Team
How many times has your team participated in the event?
We have participated in the event six times.
What is the design philosophy behind your solar car?
We aim to create a strong contender in solar car races by focusing on weight reduction, a rollover-resistant body, improved maintainability, and enhanced controllability. We emphasize the importance of stability in achieving performance, while maintaining an aggressive design and approach.
What is unique about your solar car?
The race will be held in August and solar power generation will decrease. The solar panels increased to 6 square meters. Therefore, a catamaran type body was designed to suppress the venturi effect that occurs between multiple wings.
Why does youre team value participating in the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge?
The team aims to develop talent that will understand the essence, learn engineering skills, and contribute to society.
What is the one thing your team is looking forward to when you visit Australia?
We are looking forward to camping under the beautiful night skies of the Outback.
