That's a completely different thing. The monaco cirquit, while 
originally being build as just city streets and still being used as 
such, is actually very recognizable as having dual use. e.g. 
<https://www.google.nl/maps/@43.7375373,7.4272024,3a,75y,270.2h,65.34t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s90afFkiy5oU7LdX4eJgj0Q!2e0!7i13312!8i6656> 
the red/white striped "racing curb"

The Solar challenge is a challenge that takes place on public roads 
which are not modified for the race. Similar to things like the Tour de 
France. Even though for the Tour, municipalities sometimes take the 
effort of renovating (re-asphalting) a road, and painted names can be 
seen on the asphalt years later, it is not a marked "cirquit".

Exceptions would be if there were permanent "touristic" markers along 
the way such as "World Solar Challenge Route →".
e.g. the climb of the Alpe d'Huez, with it's numbered curves 
<https://www.google.nl/maps/@45.0765786,6.0473025,3a,19.7y,307.66h,88.58t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sgdWTA9aaMCQdvdAud4Cdag!2e0!6s%2F%2Fgeo2.ggpht.com%2Fcbk%3Fpanoid%3DgdWTA9aaMCQdvdAud4Cdag%26output%3Dthumbnail%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26thumb%3D2%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D289.0417%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i13312!8i6656> 
  (with signs at each curve), is something that I could see being mapped 
as a cycle route in OSM.
