One feature of the World Solar Challenge that is different from the North American Solar Challenge is that racers are allowed to charge their vehicles’ batteries beginning at sunrise every morning and ending when the sun sets every night, rather than having to pack up at a designated hour each evening.

Outstanding Outback Sunset

The perk of this regulation is that the team is up and paying close attention to every glorious sunrise and sunset as they traverse the Outback. When camping in the middle of the continent, there is almost nothing to obstruct the horizon, so every view of the sky is picturesque.
