With the sun shinning out in the Quad, we took the car out and the boys took it for a spin around the playground, expertly avoiding all the Lamp posts!

The Launch
The Launch party was a massive success. There was a great turnout and everyone was very impressed with the car and the boys were excellent hosts. After a speech from Mr Lloyd-King the car was unveiled and the team was photographed with it for the local press, a chance to show off it's new red paintwork. When the lads had stopped vying to be Britain's Next Top Model, the cowlings and the bonnet were removed so the guests could get a good view of all the technical parts which are normally covered up.

AWESOME!
Tonight was epic! With the launch party only a day away we cracked on with some of the decorative work, putting decals on for the sponsors and also painting the nose, cowling and bonnet. Finally, at about 8 in the evening we had a car that looked amazing! The red paint job and the red vinyl stickers look excellent together and I think we can be really proud to show the car off tomorrow at the launch. As usual we took plenty of photos but I will hold off on posting them so as not to ruin the surprise when the car is officially unveiled.

Launch Party
With the car looking more complete every day we are now proud to announce the official launch of the new car. It will be on Wednesday 16th June, 5:30-7:00 and will be in the Dining Hall at Richard Lander School. There will be representatives of our sponsors and press alongside the team and their families.
On a construction note, the foam block for the rear cowling was bonded together with the ply stringer in the middle. The foam is from a paddle board blank which was donated by Homeblown. The foam itself is not particularly eco-friendly but it is a reject so would have ended up in landfill if we hadn't taken it so our green credentials are unaffected. The block will be shaped over the next few days using similar methods to surfboard builders and will help with aerodynamics at the rear of the vehicle.
