1) Create section comparing the performance of top solar cars over the last 2 decades (as an example of how much the technology has improved)
2) Describe economic impacts of solar car racing, especially on markets for solar cells, electric motors, and other specialized components
3) Describe the education and experience gained by collegiate and high school teams, especially the numbers of students who have participated
4) Keep technical detail while still remaining understandable to a non-engineering audience

Raycing is a very ugly neologism of limited scope, please see [ [1]], and tell me why you think it should be included. Greg Locock ( talk) 19:56, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
They have always been called solar cars, in my (rather long) experience with them. Incidentally your rename proposal is badly formed please sort it out. Greg Locock ( talk) 02:04, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
There needs be a table showing variable estimates which can be used in the equations. You might want to include in this table the estimates for a regular car or say Toyota Prius as to compare them and use them in the equations. Some of course will be the same, like the air density, but no estimate has been stated or formulated (high altitude density differences).

That's a great idea
Done
How's that?

In general it looks good. But, there is something weird with Crr1 and Crr2 with the table. Also, is it possible to have some way to a comparison or contrast a normal car with a solar car? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Reddwarf2956 ( talk • contribs) 02:29, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
Crr2 has been eliminated from most people's measurements, it looks as though it was an experimental artefact. So I set it to zero. Yes, I'll addd a prius. Cheers Greg Locock ( talk) 09:52, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
I am looking for this reference: "Solar Vehicle Performance, Dr. Eric Slimko, December 1, 1991." Where is it? I have not found a book, web page, or anything other than this Wikipedia page.
Also I see that the info with "North American Solar Challenge" is dated. More current info is at the link to the "Main article."
Thanks,

Is an LSR a race? if not then it belongs elsewhere. I say not, and have included it on the solar vehicles article. The argument that it is interesting is neither here nor there. Greglocock ( talk) 00:09, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
