How it went.
With Solis EV2.
The 2022 race was again 24 hours long, with three charges allowed and a driver change every two hours. It tested the vehicle and the team's coordination in equal measure.
EV2 did 150 laps, against 7 with EV1 the year before, and finished 13th of 18, without a single major fault.
How the race works.
A 24-hour endurance race at Circuit Zolder in Belgium, a former Formula 1 track of 4.011 km. The most laps wins, and points for the dynamic tests before the race and for the fastest lap are added to the standings. Teams also race for their national title.
Le Mans start
The drivers run to their vehicles, climb in and set off together. The race runs from noon to noon, through the night.
Limited charging
Between one and three grid charging stops in 24 hours. The rest of the energy comes from the sun.
Driver changes
Drivers swap every few hours in the pits. Every minute in the pits is a minute lost on track.
Two classes
Challenger, for single-seat vehicles, and Cruiser, for vehicles with more seats that are closer to everyday road vehicles.
