CaPSET began in 1989 in response to General Motors' request for proposal to develop and race a solar vehicle in the innagural GM SUNRAYCE USA. Cal Poly Pomona responded, won a spot, and raced in the field of 32 solar vehicles from Disney World in Florida to GM's Technical Center in Warren, Michigan. The team went on to develop and race three differrent solar cars in races on three continents. Subsequent pages illustrate a summary of the vehicles, competitions entered, and awards won.
Below are thumbnail photographs of the three solar cars. Click on the vehicle names to see photographs and information for that vehicle.
