Sunday 9th June saw the first competitive meeting for the IET Formula 24 and Formula 24+ heats of the year at the Goodwood Motor Circuit. Plenty of new teams and new cars were on show, including a nervous Rotary Racer team with the new car that hadn't even been tested before the practice sessions! Not that they should have worried with all that experience behind them as the car still came 3rd in the 24+ race!

There's a huge buzz here at the Greenpower as Sunday sees the first heat of the 2013 IET Formula 24 and Formula 24+ season. A record number of cars for this event are registered and the weather forecast is brilliant!

Our volunteers are usually a very visible bunch - decked out in waterproofs and hi-vis tabards, in among the thick of the action in the pit lane or scrutineering in the paddocks. Many of these people are engineers, and it is always great to hear them enthuse on what they see in front of them and of what we are doing - when you hear young graduates or recently retired engineers waxing lyrical about what we are doing we know we must be getting a lot of it right!

Saturday 18^th May saw the start of a very hectic few days for the Greenpower team with the first stop being the second annual Bristol Goblins event. This event was once again being generously hosted by the great team at Renishaw, many of whom are old hands at Greenpower with a strong history of competing in the F24 and 24+ challenges. This is another event that has grown this year with nine cars taking part including a visitor from Sussex making their way to the event tucked away in the picturesque Gloucestershire Cotswolds.
