“I am delighted to see the European Solar Challenge come of age, and congratulations are due to the many people who have worked so hard to make this dream a reality.
European solar car teams have distinguished themselves on the World Stage for many years, so it is only fitting that the region hosts the latest international competition of our beloved ‘Brain Sport’.
In this case we see the solarcars embrace a circuit event at the world famous Zolder track, which brings the added benefit of the social interaction which can take place between the many team members, supporters and enthusiasts coming to Belgium in celebration of this intellectual endeavour.
On behalf of the wider solarcar community around the world I wish you every success and look forward to meeting each and every one of your participants on the days of the event”.
