As I drive down the road, I slowly use up the stored electricity. My car is just like a car that was made by college students at Auburn University in Auburn, Alabama. The students raced the car in a solar car race called Sunrayce '97, which was held in the summer of 1997. They raced the car 1,200 miles, from Indianapolis, Indiana, to Colorado Springs, Colorado. They only came in 33rd place, but they were just happy they made it all the way to the finish line.
Solar cars make almost no noise at all as they run.
They make just a quiet hum. And they don't make any smoke or bad smells. If everybody drove solar cars, our cities would have a lot cleaner air. These boys are racing a solar car they built from scratch. You can build toy solar cars and other toys that make electricity from the sun.
