Solar-Powered Cars Start Race Around South Africa. By Laura Grant, Independent, September 29, 2008. "Six solar-powered cars set off from Pretoria on Sunday on an epic, two-week race around South Africa. The cars, which were all designed and built by teams in the race, range from what looks like a modified golf cart to something that wouldn't look out of place in an episode of Star Trek. But they are all feats of engineering. The idea behind the race is to show people what fun science and engineering is, says Winstone Jordaan of the Advanced Energy Foundation, the Pretoria non-profit organization [sponsoring] the race."
