<div class="home-intro-text">Founded in 1995, the University of Toronto Blue Sky Solar Racing team is a
student-led design-build team that has designed, built and raced solar powered vehicles for over 25
years. Most recently in October 2019, the team finished their 10th generation vehicle, Viridian, and
succesfully raced in the 2019 World Solar Challenge.<br /><br />Now a team of over 50 diverse,
talented students, Blue Sky Solar Racing continues to help push the limits of sustainable vehicle
design, while also providing valuable learning and technical training opportunities in the process.

<div class="home-intro-title">Who are we?</div>
<div class="home-intro-text">All the members at Blue Sky Solar Racing are undergraduate students at the
University of Toronto. Being a multi-disciplinary project, the team welcomes students from all
disciplines. While the majority of members are from the engineering department, students with a
commerce, architecture or computer science background are all playing important roles.<br /><br />It
is common for people to join this team with zero experience because this is where our rigorous
training process comes into play. With 27 years of experience behind us, the team has accumulated
knowledge and experience to bring new members up to speed. What awaits is then a two-year journey of
demanding but exciting creation and hardwork until they reach the finish line in Adelaide,
Australia.</div>

<div class="cycle-title">SINCE 1995</div>
<div class="cycle-text">Designed to maximize efficiency, each car is a precise balance between many
factors like material weight, solar cell chemistry and telemetry systems. As a result, the process
is long and challenging, with each vehicle undergoing two years of rigorous research, simulations
and testing before its finally ready to drive and race. The end result is well worth it - a finely
tuned, high-performance machine, weighing less than 1/3 the average F1 car and often capable of
reaching top speeds of over 100 kph, running entirely on solar energy.</div>

<div class="cycle-dev-title">Development Cycle</div>
<div class="cycle-dev-text">Every one of our cars are typically designed within a two year long
cycle, beginning and ending with our participation in the World Solar Challenge, a biennial
3,022 km race spanning the entirety of the Australian continent.<br /><br />First
established in 1987, the World Solar Challenge is designed to push the capabilities of each
solar car and its crew to their absolute limits in the outback, driving a route from Darwin
to Adelaide over the course of 5-6 long days. Often considered the worlds most influential
and prestigious solar car challenge, it attracts competitors and news coverage from all over
the world, with university teams from over 20 different countries.<img class="map-image"
src="/images/map.jpg" type="image/jpeg" alt="">For Blue Sky, the World Solar Challenge
marks the ultimate culmination of two intense years of hard work. From training new recruits
to testing our cars on the road, each World Solar Challenge completed is a testament to the
passion of our team.</div>

<div class="cycle-outreach-text">To us, Blue Sky is not just about developing a fast and
efficient car, but also about sharing all the experiences and skills we learned along the
way. Since our founding, over 300 students of all academic backgrounds have been proud to
call themselves part of the Blue Sky team, and we are constantly looking for more ways to
inspire and reach out to the next generation of professionals.<br /><br />In addition to our
outreach events, our work is often featured in many university-wide and national
publications.<br /><br />We also maintain a consistent social media presence, with thousands
of viewers and followers across our Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and our Website!
