The Bridgestone World Solar Challenge (BWSC) is the world’s premier solar-powered car race where young engineers from all over the world compete with their self-designed solar cars. The solar cars travel over 3,000 kilometers from Darwin in Northern Australia to Adelaide in South Australia over five days. Under the theme of “Dream bigger. Go farther,” Bridgestone supports the engineers’ efforts and passion to achieve their dreams.
The next BWSC will be held in 2023 !
The Technical Challenge
Only the cars whose efficiency and durability meet the tournament’s required and most stringent standard can finish the race. The contestants will challenge themselves technically in order to improve the future of mobility.
Adventure in the Outback
The race will be held at the vast and deserted interior of Australia, Outback. The teams will venture out into the wild nature.
BWSC spirit
One of the highlights of BWSC is the development of teamwork and sportsmanship. The race also allows friendships to be developed across different teams.

Let us introduce the people and their projects from wide-ranging fields, including environment, mobility, technology and design. We will explore how their visions resonate with the BWSC theme of “creating the future of mobility with solar cars.”
