First established in 2004, the team, with the latest car (DUSC2008), competed in their first event, the North American Solar Challenge in July this year as the only UK entry. 2008 Competing against multi-million pound rivals, a team of Durham's engineering students set out to race their solarpowered car across North America. The undergraduate-led team embarked on the 2500 miles as the only British entry to rise to the ‘North American Solar Challenge'.
