About Brunel Solar Team

When thinking of solar racing, one thinks of Nuna. The solar car built by students from TU Delft. The team can call itself world champion 7 times and has also won all 4 races in South Africa.

Universities like MIT, Stanford, and Cambridge repeatedly fall short. How does a team of Dutch students achieve this?

The Brunel Solar Team consists of seventeen ambitious students each year. The students dedicate themselves full-time for a year and a half to build their own solar car from scratch. Organizational, creative, technical, theoretical, and practical skills are combined to create a world-class car and team.

The Brunel Solar Team races in both the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge in Australia and the SASOL Solar Challenge in South Africa. The team’s goal is to show the world the power of high-end technology and sustainable energy. The success of the Brunel Solar Team did not come easily; together with Wubbo Ockels, the team has established the 9 winning factors that contribute to the success of the teams.

The Brunel Solar Team takes you through the highlights of a year of solar racing and its nine winning factors. The team inspires you to get the most out of your company and your team. The presentation is characterized by a wealth of knowledge, enthusiasm, and energy from the ambitious solar racers. It is guaranteed that the audience will be on the edge of their seats by the end of the lecture. With years of experience in solar racing, the team excels in topics such as team performance, sustainability, and high-end technological innovations.

We proudly share our success stories about how we repeatedly triumph in the World Solar Challenge. Sharing our triumphs is more than just a display of victories; it is a celebration of perseverance, innovation, and team spirit that enables us to excel time and again in this solar race.

It is a story of mutual growth, collaboration, and overcoming challenges as we collectively strive towards our goals.
5. Solar Challenge

With enthusiasm, we are delighted to share our experiences gained during the Bridgestone World Solar Challenges in Australia and the Sasol Solar Challenges in South Africa. These challenging solar races serve as crucial chapters in our story, where we not only explore technological boundaries but also grow as a team. The unique environments of Australia and South Africa not only provide us with the opportunity to test our solar cars but also set the stage for unforgettable moments of collaboration, perseverance, and pride as we push our limits in the world of sustainable mobility.
