The 2018 Sasol Solar Challenge trophy for Team Professionalism and Safety was awarded to the Think Bike Marshals during the SSC Awards ceremony in Cape Town on Sunday.
According to the SSC Event Director Winstone Jordaan, the efforts of the Think Bike Marshals not only ensured that the event was concluded without a single serious incident, but their punctuality, discipline both on and off the road and their overt team spirit served as an example of professionalism for all the participants. Whilst the trophy is usually awarded to one of the participating teams, SSC event officials decided to award the trophy to Think Bike Marshals – the first time in the 10-year history of the Sasol Solar Car challenge.
The Think Bike Marshals accepted the trophy to a standing ovation from all the participants and the winning team Team Captain from Nuon – University of Delft, the current World Champions dedicated their win to Think Bike Marshals.
