Thirteen students. One solar-powered car. 3,000 kilometers through the American heartland on nothing but sunshine. We're proud to partner with Delft Solar Team again, this time at the Electrek American Solar Challenge 2026, sponsoring the team with four OMP First EVO racing suits made with Teijinconex® meta-aramid fiber. For driver Bas van der Meer, this race has been a long time coming. He first came across Delft Solar Race when he was eight years old. He's now the one sitting inside Nuna 13S, racing it across America. Some ambitions take a while. Nuna 13S is ready.
