This is not going to be a long blog post, primarily because the day ended with a similar result to the day before, but with far more confusion! We managed to get everything operational, but unless we imposed a very odd set of instructions to the car's components, not everything would work simultaneously. For example, ...
Today started like many preceding it; an early start at the garage in order to return the car to working order. We worked diligently all day without very much to report. The fire damage has now been completely fixed, and some improvements to the bodywork have been made as well. The really interesting stuff started ...
Today was one of those satisfying days where a solid amount of progress was done, without any one aspect particularly standing out. The car is slowly but meticulously being repaired, and given what's at stake, we're loathe to rush things whereby mistakes are more likely to be made. As work continued, evidence of the car's sound ...
With yesterday's good news, we were eager to carry on working on the car in order to have it ready in time to leave Cartagena on Friday. As we have learnt time and time again on this project though, absolutely everything takes longer than expected, and yesterday was no different, so time was of the ...
As we now had a place to secure the car, it was just waiting to be fixed and be back on the road! We were determined to get it repaired as soon as possible, so by 8am on Sunday morning we were up and ready to get going! Nik and Toby went for the morning ...

For Racing Green Endurance, this blog post is certainly one of the most exciting! For a start, it’s being written at around 33,000ft as the team wings their way across the US mid-west to Anchorage, Alaska, thereby signifying the first day of our Pan-American trip! After a year and a half of hard ...
As if we needed it, the team had another massive reality check as we booked out flights out to Anchorage, Alaska, and back from Buenos Aires in Argentina. Somehow, when the flights are booked, you have your e-ticket, and you know you have to be at Heathrow at 6.30am on June 28th, things become ...
Despite the fact that we are leaving in 11 days time (it's still sinking in by the way!) there is still quite a bit of logistics work to do. But now that the car is working and engineering work has pretty much stopped, we have drafted in the engineers to help. See the ...
Wow, what a weekend the last few days have been! As Andy mentioned in the previous blog post, team RGE attempted to drive from London to Paris on Saturday on just one charge, and then head back on the Sunday after a full charge, some nice French food and wine, and a bit of ...
