Green Lightning is the result of two years of engineering! The light carbon body has enough space for innovative parts that we’ve built from scratch. The monohulled solar car has a design which leaves room for further technological, outside the box solutions. By using four wheel steering our solar car can drive under an angel, which gives benefits to aerodynamical resistance.

Last week was an eventful week. We feel the pressure of finishing the car as quickly as possible and discussions and frustrations are sometimes the result of this. You can read how we solve this within the team in this blog.
While our technical guys are testing in Coober Pedy this week, we thought it would be a good idea to also do some preparation for the race with the people that have remained in Quorn… Today we have had our first race simulation day in Australia!
