Have you ever wondered about the car hanging in the Davis Centre? Well, that car is Midnight Sun VII, a World Record breaking solar race car built by The Midnight Sun Solar Rayce Car Team! Established in 1988, we are one of the top solar racing teams in Canada. We are a student-based design team that designs, builds, and races solar cars to compete around the world. We are committed to raising awareness for the viability of solar energy through our international races, community events, and educational workshops. We believe in giving the students on our team an opportunity to practically apply theoretical concepts from the classroom, and giving our supporters the opportunity to be a part of an initiative that is both unique and environmentally conscious.
As the largest student team on campus, we recruit from every faculty on campus! No matter where your interests lie, Midnight Sun has a place for you. Our team consists of three sub-teams, Business, Mechanical and Electrical. We are currently in the process of building our 11th generation car which features a completely new design and will be showcased in an Ontario-wide tour. Be a part of history by letting us know which team you’re interested in by emailing us at mail@uwmidsun.com or dropping by at E5 1002!
