At the beginning of this week Nik and I went to pick up our long awaited tyres which were kindly sponsored to us by Continental AG, a well known and respected developer of technology all around the world. They also agreed to sponsor us with €9,000 of cash as well thereby helping out the [...]

Last week Sastra University invited us to speak at the innovative DAKSH 2010 Engineering Festival. Its aim is to inspire students and show them the fun side of engineering. They invite students from universities across India to compete in engineering challenges, learn new skills in workshops, and listen to guest speakers talk about their experiences.

With the car needing to be finished ASAP, we drafted in Andy and Clemens today to help speed up progress on the car. While they are both excellent engineers in their respective fields, they haven’t been involved in the day-to-day engineering of the project so far. However, we all arrived nice and early [...]

On Thursday, newly qualified Dr Dave Howey and I presented to the Sustainable Energy Futures MSc students at Imperial as part of their Sustainable Transport module.
This marked the start of RGEs education campaign, so it was great to have a home audience the first time round. The session was kicked-off by Dr Ralph Clague of [...]

Time has just flown by since the Autosport show back in January. The last time we blogged we were right in the middle of displaying the car for four days at the show. We had a brilliant time there and all the hard work that we put in to get the car ready really paid [...]

Wow.
Firstly, apologies for not doing the blog yesterday, the team were all up at 5am and after a hard day selling the project we all fell asleep before we had time to tell you about it.
These two days have been far beyond what any of the team were expecting. There have been so many [...]

It was my first day up in the Radical factory on Friday and it is an epic place, the fastest car in the world (the actual one that broke the Nurburg Ring lap record) was only 5m away from our car! Anyway, back to our project, it’s been a hard week of work for the [...]

After much deliberating we finally settled on the new format for the team page. This one has the individual profiles pop up as you roll over them, it’s a bit cleaner and this way we can fit a lot more information in the same space. Hopefully it’s a bit more interactive and informative than the [...]
