Adelaide University Solar Racing Team - AUSRT

AU Solar Racing at the Adelaide Motorsport Festival!

We had an amazing time at this year’s Adelaide Motorsport Festival. Between the rain, we dusted off Lumen III and had some fantastic conversations with fellow motorsport enthusiasts.

A huge thank you to for having us once again. Our team always looks forward to being part of the incredible atmosphere that surrounds the event.

We’re proud to spotlight Tonkin Engineering for powering our solar racing journey.

has continuously supported our team over many years of racing; their expertise and support has helped us optimize efficiency and push the limits of what Lumen can achieve.

We want to extend our gratitude to Brad and Matthew, who provided us with automotive consultation. This allowed us to develop a greater understanding surrounding the essentials of safely building our vehicle from scratch, while also incorporating Australian standards in our design philosophy.

Tonkin reviewed the car's safety and provided the road worthiness certificate for BWSC 2025, which deemed our car to be suitable for travelling on Stuart highway.

Thank you, Tonkin, for your ongoing support, you have not only helped us to drive innovation but have helped us to become better engineers.
