Meet The Teams

17 teams are registered for the 2010 season, with all but one planning to compete in both Formula Sun Grand Prix and the American Solar Challenge.  We welcome our international teams from Canada, Germany, and Taiwan as well as the strong presence of our local United States teams.  Safe travels, sunny days, and all the best to all the teams!
