Solis tests its solar vehicle at Cluj Arena before the race

Aleph News reports that Cluj Arena hosted a new test session for the solar vehicle built by the SOLIS student team of the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca. The vehicle ran in its final competition configuration, and the students used the stadium, with the approval of the Cluj County Council, to see how it behaves in conditions as close as possible to a race.

According to the report, the tests covered several technical points: stability in corners and general behaviour on the track, energy efficiency and the working of the battery cooling system. The team also checked the reliability of its components, with the vehicle in exactly the form in which it would race.

The data gathered at Cluj Arena were to form the basis of the last adjustments. Aleph News describes the session as one of the final steps in the team's preparation. The article does not name the race; the team's next event was the iLumen European Solar Challenge at Circuit Zolder, Belgium, on 19 and 20 September. Ziarul Făclia also covered the same tests.
