College Engineering Teams Compete In 2022's Formula Sun Grand Prix, Qualify For The American Solar Challenge!
“That’s been really unique for a lot of people to see like, ‘OK, solar cars can be a two-seater or a four seater car and be transporting people,'” said FSGP event director Gail Lueck. “And those cars also get judged on some practical features. So those are the cars that may have some cupholders, they may have an infotainment system in the car and you know creature comforts that can kind of give the public the idea that, ‘Oh, maybe this is something that gets worked towards in the future.
The 3-day race took place on a 2.5-mile track at Topeka’s Heartland Motorsports Park. Cars had the opportunity to run from 10 AM to 6 PM Tuesday, 9-5 on Wednesday, and 9-5 on Thursday. Teams had to go at least 308 miles over two days or 205 miles on a single day to qualify for the next race, and the teams that could go the most miles on the power of the sun win the Formula Sun.
Out of the 13 teams who competed in the one-seater class, just over half of the teams qualified for the American Solar Challenge . The other teams just didn’t get enough laps in to convince event organizers that they were ready for an over-the-road race.
