" Scrutineering
Wednesday 12th - Friday 14th October
Foskey Pavilion, Royal Darwin Showgrounds, Winellie

Open from 8am until 5pm
Team members will be registered, drivers weighed and the solarcars themselves will be presented to the scrutineers for inspection and confirmation of their for regulatory compliance and structural integrity. Vehicles will be progressively dismantled for inspection and reassembled in a ‘production line’ process on the scrutineering floor. The hall is surrounded by a balcony from which a good view of the proceedings can be enjoyed.

Science Outside the Square
Friday 14th October
Foskey Pavilion, Royal Darwin Showgrounds, Winellie

Qualifying and Speed Trials
Saturday 15th October
Hidden Valley Motorsport Complex, Berrimah
Gates open from 7am (Darwin time).
One of the few times the solarcars and their teams are in the same place with time to talk. Following a team briefing, solarcars take to the track individually to complete a series of dynamic tests ? steering, braking and performance. The timed ‘hot lap’ will determine their starting position the following day. An electrifying atmosphere, with ideal viewing of ‘pit lane’ from the roof of the garages.

Following the pre-event briefing, a specific media briefing will take place. Details of time and venue will be provided to registered media representatives.

Event Start
Sunday 16th October
State Square Darwin
8.30am (Darwin time), on the Grid from 7am
Before the sun is even up, teams start to assemble in the State Square precinct, where final scrutineering checks are performed. At 0830 the Chief Minister will ‘flag off’ the solarcars as they commence their journey south. Solarcars must merge with their support teams once they take to the road ? but will all teams enjoy a smooth start?

Day 4
Wednesday 19th October
On past experience we may see the competition decided late in the afternoon of the fourth day.
Just north of Adelaide, teams cross the ‘Finish of Timing’ checkpoint, effectively determining the overall winner, however the journey is not over. Each solarcar must then proceed under its own power to the ceremonial finish line in Victoria Square in the heart of Adelaide.

The Finish Line
Victoria Square, Adelaide
Formally completing their challenge, the cars cross the finish line to enjoy a quick celebration and the attention of the media and photographers. Then follows final scrutiny, and the assembly of solarcars grows within the event’s public interactive showcase.
