ISU Students Participate in Solar Car Challenge

Illinois State University's Solar Car "Racing" Team is competing in a cross-country 1,000-mile adventure in the 2021 American Solar Car Challenge.

 

Known as Team Mercury, the all-volunteer, student-led team will tackle the American Solar Challenge from today until August 7th. Team President Alex Plumador, who graduated in May with a double major in physics and computational physics, said the race would take them on a four-state tour.

 

 

The race is following the Santa Fe Trail to commemorate the bicentennial of the route. Team Mercury has been building and racing solar-powered vehicles since 2005.
