What does it take to race 3,000 kilometers across the unforgiving Australian Outback powered only by the sun?

Listen in as we sit down with Martijn Boonen, Electrical Engineer & Driver, Brunel Solar Team, and Tony Mathew, Global Market Manager, Teijin Aramid, to reveal the secrets behind their record-breaking solar car victory at the 2025 Bridgestone World Solar Challenge.

Discover how cutting-edge engineering, relentless teamwork, and innovative sustainable materials came together to conquer extreme heat, torrential rain, and fierce competition. Hear firsthand how the Brunel Solar Team’s winning mentality led to their eighth global win, and how circular fiber tire technology proved that sustainability and high performance can go hand-in-hand.
