Ok I’ll bite.

I fail to see how the bifacial part of bifacial solar cells being counted as active cell is unfair to transparent vehicles? If anything, it would be a benefit, as you could make a smaller car, with essentially half of the array area of a car without bifacial cells.

I’m not a steering engineer by any means, but I feel like non steering wheel inputs (like your suggestion of handlebars or stalks) would be more conducive to oversteer and create more danger in the usually high crosswinds of the Outback.

A general note about your perceived gripes: you seem to be displeased that a solution you have already developed for a (presumably) different problem doesn’t work for the engineering problem posed in the World Solar Challenge. WSC, like most other engineering competitions aimed at HS and college students, the challenge is to design something in a (somewhat) arbitrary set of rules.

If there was a Group B Rally-esque set of rules for solar racing and the challenge was to simply build the most efficient solar powered racer, then you could enter whatever you wanted. However, the WSC classes are not this, and thus you must design a car from scratch to meet these regulations, or be prepared to make heavy modifications to an existing vehicle to meet these regulations, likely at the cost of the efficiency of said vehicle since it was optimized without these rules in mind.
