Racing With The (Help Of) Sun

by Noel on July 3rd, 2007

So you love Robert Kubica, Fernando Alonso, Lewis Hamilton, Michael Schumacher, and the rest of the racing crew. And so you have been dreaming of having your own racing machine and racing to your heart’s desire.

Well, you may want to try out the thrill with this solar racer. Yep, a solar racer. But the catch is, this one’s quite small - it is a toy racer in red. What is interesting about this solar racer is that it gets its power from the sun so there’s no need for you to spend on batteries and the whole stuff. The sun is all you’ll need.

It measures 57 x 42 x 17 mm and it would make your heart thunder as it racers through your house, the street, or through your backyard. It sure would bring the child out of you. Well, maybe you can buy a pair of these and then you and your little tot can race and see whose solar racer works best.
