The American Solar Challenge (ASC) is a competition to design, build and race solar-powered cars in a cross-country event. The 2003 race began on July 13 in Chicago, Illinois, followed historic Route 66, and ended in Claremont, California on July 23. As is stated, ASC promotes a greater understanding of solar energy technology, its environmental benefits, and its promise for the future. The challenge offers the opportunity for creative integration of technical and scientific expertise across a range of disciplines and a hands-on opportunity for students and engineers to develop and demonstrate their technical and creative abilities. Visitors of the site can read about the 2003 teams, views photos of the vehicles, find out who won, and much more.
