The Solar Challenge :
- Solar prototypes race :
Solar prototypes are designed to use as little fuel as possible. They will race around a 4-km circuit at Savoie Technolac. - Sunracers race :
Sunracers are street-legal cars that are capable of reaching speeds of 130 km/h. They will go head to head on a circuit between Savoie Technolac and Aix les Bains.
Student involvement
Mostly built by high-school or engineering-school students, these vehicles are the results of team projects that bring out the curiosity and ingenuity of their inventors, while developing skills in fields as diverse as engineering, electro-chemistry, physics and mathematics.
A showcase for solar power
The Solar Challenge is not just about performance. In fact, its main objective is to raise public awareness of the possibilities of renewable energies, of the fabulous resources they provide and of the applications they will be put to in the near future. Solar energy is a rapidly expanding field that will create large numbers of jobs in the years to come.
20 kms / 12.42 miles |
The solar prototypes will race on a 2-km course through the streets of Savoie Technolac. The circuit includes one of the loops from the 2008 edition, and then heads south towards the site’s new main entrance. The race will therefore be at the heart of Solar Event, ensuring a grandstand view for spectators, wherever they are along the course.

The Electric Rallye Cup (E.R.C) :
- A 60-km rally for electric vehicles around Lake Bourget. The ERC is open to production vehicles and manufacturers’ prototypes.
An exceptional course for a unique rally ! The circuit round Lake Bourget will follow flat roads along the lakeshore through Aix-les-Bains, before heading into the mountains on the ‘wild’ side of the lake, climbing up above Hautecombe Abbey and Le Bourget du Lac. Magnificent views and a great spectacle guaranteed.
