Light Speed — Season 1

Welcome to LIGHT SPEED! Join Derek Muller of Veritasium to meet the minds (and understand the physics!) behind the world's most advanced solar vehicles. They'll race 2,000 miles across the Australian Outback to test their tech and teamwork, risking life and limb to build a better, more sustainable world.

And they're off! Under the brutal desert sun, our competitors encounter their first roadblocks. Extreme heat, hazardous winds, and brush fires are all signs that the Australian Outback means business. But the dangers of experimental tech make it a lot worse - and a spontaneous car battery fire spells disaster for one team.

It's day two and the teams are starting to get tactical, pushing their tech to the limits and then some.

800 kilometers from the finish line, the remaining teams persist through the heat and wind-- some more successfully than others.

On day four, teams scramble to perform repairs as lightning, thunder, and brutal winds batter their encampment.

In the finale of our 2,000-mile race across the outback, things are about to take a sharp turn for one of the leading teams. The remaining teams are struggling to survive - but only one can win!
