Overdrive: Bluebird Flies again at Pendine: "And this time... it's Electric! It's going to be a great and unique occasion to see the UK land speed record broken, and the fact that the challenger is called bluebird and driven by the grandson of the famous Malcolm Campbell. This is a highly innovative attempt and well worthy of your support.
Bluebird Electric Team Announces New UK Land Speed Record Date
The weekend of 13th/14th August 2011 will be a momentous occasion. Records are set to be broken and history made as Don Wales and the Bluebird Electric team endeavour to break the UK Land Speed Record on the 4-mile stretch of beach at Pendine Sands, South Wales.
Last month the attempt was aborted when a vital bespoke component that was being manufactured in Europe was not delivered. Disappointed in the firm, the team sought to find a UK engineering manufacturer, and were delighted when Dorset-based Transdev stepped in to the breach and support the team. Along with Transdev, the team has received overwhelming response from volunteers who are generously giving up their time to help marshal and assist the 30-strong Bluebird Electric team.
Don Wales and Bluebird Electric would also like to extend their thanks to the MSA and RAC, plus their sponsors Castrol, Aggreko, Ford, Goodyear, Dura, Bluestone and the Prince of Wales Hotel Pembrokeshire whose support and services have been invaluable throughout."
