Solar Racing at the Yas Marina Circuit

Published on Jan 18, 2015

In order to be able to compete in the "main event" of the Abu Dhabi Solar Challenge, teams have to compete in a qualifying event. This event was held as a track race at the Yas Marina Circuit in UAE. The race is used to both confirm the reliability of each car, as well as determine pole position for the actual race.

A team made up of current students and alumni of the Michigan Solar Car Team traveled to Abu Dhabi to compete in the inaugural Abu Dhabi Solar Challenge in January 2015.

Back into Race Mode: U-M in the Abu Dhabi Solar Challenge

Published on Feb 11, 2015

Alumni and current members of the University of Michigan Solar Car Team competed in the inaugural Abu Dhabi Solar Challenge in January 2015. The race was made up of some of the best teams from all over the world and ran its course through city streets and across the Emirati desert.

U-M's participation in the race was different from a normal race in that it committed to racing with an alumni team a mere couple of months before the competition. The team quickly bonded, however, and proved to be a strong competitor for the local favorite, the Petroleum Institute solar car team.
