The Formula Sun Grand Prix (FSGP) is an annual solar-car race that takes place on closed-loop race tracks. In the race, teams from colleges and universities throughout North America design, build, test, and race solar-powered vehicles. Every two years the race serves as a qualifier for the American Solar Challenge road race. FSGP 2017 took place between July 6 and 8 at Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas.
