Bridgestone World Solar Challenge #BWSC2025 race charts. Details on the blog. Small coloured lines at the right show estimated arrival times in Adelaide, not allowing for city traffic.
Bridgestone World Solar Challenge #BWSC2025 latest control stop times for the 2 classes.
I am predicting @UMSolarCarTeam taking 5th place in Challenger class and @Ondasolare taking 3rd in Cruiser. GPS suggests that @TeamSolaride has already passed @ivetysophie in Cruiser class.
Bridgestone World Solar Challenge #BWSC2025 GPS positions at end of day 4. The top teams are very close to Adelaide. @brunelsolarteam leads the Challenger class, followed by @solarteam_be and @solarteamtwente
Details on the blog.
The new car by @brunelsolarteam has been revealed and IT HAS A FIN!
Will they be a faster shark than @solarteam_be? We will know by the end of August.
