The first task of the day was to take our broken damper and try and get it repaired because we could only get our spares once we arrived in Mexico City. A quick search on the Internet revealed a mechanic's workshop fairly nearby, so at 9am, Nik, Toby, Claudio and myself were in the support ...

Normally I start each blog by mentioning how we woke up, whether the car was charged, and what the weather was like. But on the night leading up to our crossing into Mexico, several of us weren't sleeping in the first place such was the adrenaline coursing through our veins, and so we got out ...

After the drama of the previous day, we were all keen to take stock and give the car another health check before crossing the border into Mexico. Nik, Toby and Alex spent most of the day running around in an attempt to find a more permanent solution for the broken damper as we were not ...

Austin is a truly great place, and our experiences there will not be forgotten. National Instruments looked after us really well, taking us out for drinks and food and culminating in the most delicious steak dinner any of us had ever had!

For RGE, the perfect morning consists of waking up to find the car fully charged, and so in this respect, day 33 ...

Today was a great day for just one simple reason...20 crates of Ubershot arrived for the team! "What's Ubershot?", I hear you ask.  Well, both myself and the entire RGE team will testify to Ubershot being the best energy shot out there.  There are plenty of companies that have come out with various forms of energy shots, ...

Today was a big day for the project so far: the Radical SRZero, the car we have worked so hard on in the past 7 months, was due to be assessed for road worthiness. A test called IVA (Individual Vehicle Approval) had to be passed. All cars that are not mass produced series type approved ...
