Adelaide University Solar Racing is a student-led team that designs and builds solar powered vehicles for the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge

The Adelaide University Solar Racing Team (AUSRT) is a group of final year engineering students who devote their year to technically developing or improving the university solar racing car named Lumen. The team competes in the biennial Bridgestone World Solar Challenge (BWSC), a global event where teams from across the globe race in a 3000 km journey from Darwin to Adelaide on nothing but solar power.

Future Energy Week!

Last Friday the team was invited to attend the renewable energy conference out at Tonsley Innovation District. It was an amazing opportunity for us to network and show off Lumen III to an industry crowd.

The team was able to engage in meaningful industry conversations surrounding the future of renewable energy.

Shout out to GPA for inviting us and to Future Energy Week for hosting such an inspiring event!

Setting up for events 101!

Swipe to see some behind the scenes pictures of AU Solar Racing setting up for one of our events earlier in the year. We have gotten Lumen III in and out of some fun spaces, that's for sure.

Big shout out to Gavin HA Photography for always making us look good!

This day a year ago, AU Solar Racing set off down the Stuart Highway for our 5th Bridgestone World Solar Challenge! ☀️

The BWSC is more than just a race, it's the world's greatest engineering challenge and an opportunity to drive technological innovation.

With pure grit, determination, and dedication, the team designed, built, and raced an entirely new car, Lumen III!

Although Lumen III didn't quite make her way back home how we had planned, the community and insight gained from the 2025 race made it all worth it.

The team learned so much from the valuable experience of this race, which in turn has enabled us to become smarter and stronger innovators for 2027!

These amazing shots of the team are all thanks to Bridgestone World Solar Challenge 📸 💪

Inspiring the innovators of the future at Science Alive this weekend! 🔭☀️⚗️

This is always a highly anticipated community event for the AU Solar Racing team. We pride ourselves on sparking curiosity in young minds who love science!

This event is a fantastic opportunity to share the power of renewable energy and show that a career in STEM can take you to amazing places.

Thank you, Science Alive! for having us!

Lumen III in all its glory!

We thought we would start your week off with these fantastic shots of Lumen, taken by AU Solar Racing member Jesse.

This time last week, AU Solar Racing got the opportunity to meet up with Brad from Tonkin.

Having access to Brad's engineering expertise is a massive help in guiding our design process to a safe, high-performing, and roadworthy vehicle!

Thank you, Brad, for taking the time to let us pick your brain and for always supporting us.
