Event Update No. 2021-1: Intent-to-Race / Registration Updates / Spring Webinar Series / COVID
Intent-to-Race
Teams planning to take part in the 2021 Solar Car Challenge need to file a 2021 Intent-to-Race Form. This does not obligate you to race this summer, but it does place you on the official mailing list to receive important communications.
Registration Updates
All teams need to submit an Official 2021 Registration Document by April 30, 2021. This will insure the information in the Official Race Booklet is correct. You do not need to resend the supporting documentation unless something has changed from your original registration packet.
Spring Webinar Series
The Solar Car Challenge Foundation will be launching the Spring Webinar Series on Saturday, January 16th. A copy of this outstanding program is attached to this email.
