Only 1 week to go!!!

The Team are racing around at 100mph getting al the final preparations in place for the Record Attempt on 22/23rd May. We'll try to keep this Blog running, but we suggest you go to our website www.fastestlawnmower.com and click on LATEST NEWS to get just that.  If you are planning to come along and support us, do read the Event Information on the website.

Please be aware that you'll be able to get next to the Pits and see the machine set off on each run, but you won't be able to see it while it is going for the record as it will be over a mile away down the beach and there is no access there or anywhere where you can overlook it.

Final Testing - on the Top Gear Track no less!

The team recently met at the world famous Top Gear track and spent almost seven hours testing, honing, adjusting and tweaking. As ever, official figures are unfortunately not available, but judging from the smiles on the faces of the Team members by the end of the day, it wouldn’t be too difficult to surmise that the answers to all of these questions is a resounding “Yes!”

Latest Testing at Pendine - A Great Success!

The Team were at Pendine Sands on Friday 23rd to test the final version of the machine in front of the world's media. We were not going out for speed although the machine was going in the high 60s but rather to check on stability and carry our measurements of the engine performance. Driver Don Wales said that he was more than happy with the machine's performance. Footage of the day is on Youtube. Pictures are on the website - go to Latest News.

Is Bob Cleveland Coming to the attempt?

Should Bobby Go is the name of a huge campaign being mounted by Bob Cleveland, current world record holder to get sponsorship to come over to Pendine on the 22/23rd May. Take a look at their website and vote for him to come. Bob is really excited about this and Project Runningblade  will extend a hearty welcome to him if he can make it.
