Greenway Pepper this month joined Painsley School in the big race day at Darley Moor Airfield where we raced Burning Rubber. With its sleek blue shell and shapely white nose, its really did burn rubber around the track (it was quite a hot day).
Unfortunately, we did not win the race, BUT we did win “Best Engineered Car”, awarded to the team by Jason Bradbury of The Gadget Show. He was impressed by the white nose of the car which can be angled to adjust the aerodynamics of the car as it raced around the track. This proved to be vital in the first heat where Burning Rubber was top of the podium. It was sadly the second heat which saw Burning Rubber drop off the podium as we stretched the battery a little too much and didn’t manage to make the finish.
Check out the start of the race below…
