3000 kilometres across Australia in a self-built solar car

Since 1987, resourceful inventors have been crossing the Australian desert from Darwin to Adelaide in their solar-powered cars. They take part in the World Solar Challenge. This year, 40 teams from all over the world were at the start. Among them was Team Sonnenwagen from Aachen. We spoke to student and club chair Lina Schwering, who survived everything well with her team of almost 50 people.
