Sasol Solar Challenge 2024
The Sasol Solar Challenge gives teams the opportunity to build a solar car and race it South Africa, inspiring the world in the field of sustainable mobility.
Since 2014, the team has participated in the Sasol Solar Challenge in South Africa. Since the World Solar Challenge takes place once every two years, the team saw an opportunity to expand their knowledge and participate in an additional challenge. The goal of this challenge is to drive the most kilometers in eight days.
The 2024 Sasol Solar Challenge will take place September 13 until September 20. The challene will start in Johannesburg and end in the beautiful Cape Town. To gain extra kilometers, there are certain loops that can be driven. To make the challenge even more exciting, some tactical game elements have also been added to the challenge. For example, you have the 'blind stage,' in which case you don't know in advance what route you will drive until the day itself and 'half blind stage' in which case the loop is still unknown.
Nuna 12s mission is to defend the title in South Africa and will do everything possible to win for the 5th time in a row!
