Static Scrutineering
For over 30 years, the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge has welcomed the greatest minds from around the world to Australia to push the limits of technological innovation and travel the outback in a vehicle powered only by the energy of the sun.
Teams, usually comprising of tertiary and secondary students, traverse 3,000 kilometres from Darwin to Adelaide in an energy efficient electric vehicle designed, engineered, and built with their own hands.
Before teams make it to the Start Line, they must first prove to the Scientific Faculty and the Northern Territory Department of Infrastructure, Planning and Logistics that their car has been built correctly and meets 2025 Event Regulations.
Open to the public, guests are invited to watch the Static Scrutineering from a dedicated viewing platform as competition vehicles are weighed, measured and checked for overall road readiness.
Static Scrutineering will take place at the Darwin Convention Centre from Monday, 18 to Thursday, 21 August from 8:00 am - 5:00 pm.
Please note, daily times are subject to change and a schedule will be available at worldsolarchallenge.org on Sunday, 17 August.
