University of Kentucky Solar Car Team

Next up on our sponsor spotlight is Toyota! Toyota has provided our team with many hands-on learning experiences, including helping us paint the car at their site in 2024! They also review our part designs and give us feedback to help us improve our engineering of the car. Thank you to Toyota for their ongoing support. 🏎️☀️😼

We’re excited to announce that we’ll be attending the Formula Sun Grand Prix this year in Brainerd, Minnesota! We’re looking forward to putting our car to the test against other great competitors and learning a lot along the way. The competition can’t come soon enough! 😼☀️🏎️

Kicking off our sponsor spotlight with one of our cornerstone partner, PPL! PPL provides everything we could need for success, from materials and equipment to increased visibility and engineering guidance to ensure we succeed. We are very appreciative of all that PPL does for the team and we look forward to our continued partnership in the future!

Happy holidays from UK Solar Car! In December, we enjoyed participating in the Versailles Christmas Parade and showing off the car to members of the community. We look forward to many more outreach and growth opportunities in 2026! 🏎️🎄❄️

A few weeks ago we had the opportunity to be an exhibitor at the PPL Innovation Showcase! This was a great opportunity to meet many of the sustainability efforts that PPL supports and talk with professionals in the industry. This event was very insightful as we continue to develop the car and we look forward to applying what we learned and continue to share the UK Solar Car with the community!

We were featured at the Sustainability Showcase! We enjoyed seeing all of the sustainability projects UK has going on and we’re proud to be part of that effort.

Over the summer, our team participated in the Formula Sun Grand Prix in Bowling Green, KY. We want to give a big thank you to all of our sponsors, and we can’t wait for the next race! 😼☀️🏎️

Come see us at the Sustainability Showcase! 😼☀️🏎️
