DREAMBIGGER.GOFARTHER.

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.

Messaging for BWSC Cancellation for 2021 (February 12)External Holding Statement Regarding SATC Decision to Cancel BWSC for 2021

Bridgestone supports the difficult decision made by the South Australian Tourism Commission to cancel the 2021 running of the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge.

We will continue working collaboratively with South Australian Tourism Commission and we look forward to contributing to the development of solar cars, supporting young engineers, and contributing to the environment in the lead up to the next BWSC event in October, 2023 and beyond.
