Bridgestone World Solar Challenge 2
Tapir Tapes once again sponsors the solar team from Twente
This year we also do our bit for Solar Team Twente
From 7 to 15 October, Solar Team Twente, together with the other two Dutch solo teams, will be on display daily during the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge at NPO 1 in the programme 'Oranje Boven, Down Under' (Orange Up, Down Under). With this programme, the NOS and the VPRO want to showcase the innovative strength of the Netherlands in the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge as a national event. The Netherlands has already won several times in previous years and in Australia, the slogan "Take On The Dutch" is now trending.
Bridgestone World Solar Challenge
On 8 October 2017, Solar Team Twente will start the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge, the prestigious race for cars that run on solar energy. Together with more than fifty other international participants, Solar Team Twente will drive the solar car 3000 kilometres across the Australian outback. The race has four different classes. The Twente solar team is participating in the Challenger Class, the Formula 1 class for solar cars.
Solar Team Twente
Solar Team Twente consists of nineteen students from Saxion and the University of Twente. They are making their dream come true: winning the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge in October 2017. In addition to the students, Solar Team Twente consists of a strong network of innovative partners. Top-class sports are practised together and the fastest solar car in the world is built.
Solar Team Twente, together with all its partners, will seek a relationship in which both parties strengthen one another and are able to get the most out of the collaboration. By systematically analysing the problem, new opportunities are being discovered and specifically innovated, so that all parts in the solar car fit together perfectly.
Working together on top technology, that's what Tapir Tapes and Solar Team Twente are doing with the sole aim of creating a winning striking red solar car, powerful in its simplicity with high-tech subsystems and materials that excels in the field.
