Solar Car Racing
Solar racers have been coming to Australia for years for the World Solar Car Challenge. We interviewed Marie Logan from Brisbane. Well, the first question I have for you is simple. What is a solar car?

Solar cars are cars that use the sun's energy for power.That means they don't use petrol, gas or any other fuel,just the sunlight.

And why are people interested in solar cars?

Well, people have been worried about pollution caused by fuels like petrol andgas for a long time now. Solar cars are clean and safe so there is a lot of interest in them.

You've been designing solar racing cars for a long time. When did you start?

Well, I've been interested in cars since kindergarten. When I was at university, I started designing my car. I've designed five or six different cars so far. And I've been taking part in races for about four years.
