What is the classic idea behind the Tour de France, Formula 1 or even the X Games? What so ever that might be the resting point between these three sports, one thing is clear – they all inspire, boost and propel the viewers and supporters to take them up.
Here is another thrilling race for eco-speedsters, on the edge. The Global Green Challenge, an opportunity to showcase the latest developments and experiments in solar powered and electric car technologies. Open to institutions, universities, private groups, corporations and even high schools, around the world. It’s an exhilarating event across the Australian Outback, from Darwin to Adelaide, a mighty 3012 kms off the vertical length.
The race has a 20 year long history, with two categories to choose from –
a) The World Solar Challenge – for purely solar-powered vehicles and
b) The Eco Challenge – for environmentally friendly production and experimental vehicles

With only 2 days to go for the 2009 event to begin, I would like to put light on some of the registered entrants for the race on October 24th –
a) BMW
b) Skoda
c) Hyundai
d) Holden
e) Ford
f) Top Gear Magazine
g) Tesla and others
There are 60 teams (the highest ever since conception) from 17 countries, including India, Iran, Malaysia, Taiwan and Turkey.
This exhaustive list says a lot about the future of green transportation. Having Ford, Holden and Skoda participating provides a consciousness for change amongst the shareholders of the global automobile industry. And countries who live in the twenty first century strut of being a Second World nation, whose’ governments priorities are not sustainable in nature, are to be most applauded for producing a team for this event.
This test of durability and eco-friendly performance is promoted by the South Australian Motor Sport Board and supported by the South Australian Government and the Government of the Northern Territory, the Global Green Challenge is sponosred by Australia’s largest privately owned broadband company Internode.
The official reception flags at Darwin on October 24th and comes to an end with the car exhibition (the cars which raced) on October 31st, 2009.
