Greenpower sponsorship - our latest triumph

Season Opener event report from Goodwood motor circuit

We are proud to have sponsored Greenpower electric car racing for schools for three years but for this year we decided to take it a little further.  At the Season Opener event at the famous Goodwood motor circuit, we took part in the new Corporate Challenge.  In this electric car race companies pit their wits, driving and engineering skills against schools who design and create their own electric cars as part of this very worthwhile scheme to engage the interest and imagination of our country's future engineers. 

We were delighted to come a very creditable second out of a field of twenty five entries -  beaten only by a bunch of schoolkids from Seaford College, but we're not sore about it - honest.  Apart from anything else, the BBC Blue Peter team who both competed in and filmed the event only managed a fairly pitiful 20th place.  We also beat a team fielded by Bentley who did considerably less well than one might have expected for such a venerable car designer. So there you go. 

If this excites your competitive streak as much as it does ours then go to:  http://www.greenpower.co.uk for more on our sponsorship and on how your company could take part in the Corporate Challenge 2009.
