Vehicle tracking trials

We've been playing around with mobile phone GPS tracking and have come up with a multi-car tracking map that will hopefully be able to give live positioning during the rally!

Infosecurity to shoot the teams

Our marcoms sponsor Infosec will be attending the WHR Team Drinks today (Thursday) to interview the committee and teams to help in promoting the event and drive more donations to ChildLine. Be sure to talk to them tonight! Don't be camera shy!!

Domain Name Sponsors

A big thankyou to Whitbread Hotels and Restaurants, and specifically Simon @ brightfive and Cathryn @ Roebuck Productions for the loan of their domain name for the duration of the White Hat Rally. They had the perfect domain name  for our event and have very generously allowed us to use it!  Many thanks too for the cash donation to ChildLine received today.

Ferry bad news!

News came today that the ferry company many of the rally teams booked with to get to France is suspending some of it's services at the start of September! We're now looking for another cheap alternative, and asking for our money back!

Water Leak!

The car sprang a leak today, needed some work doing on the radiator!

Infosecurity Europe Sponsors NUKSG

Infosecurity Europe (aka Infosec) has agreed to sponsor our WHR entry! They are going to provide marcoms and PR for the whole event. We'll be going down on the 19th to record an interview to camera!

Paint job and a half

Popped into see our Team Engineer and Body Shop... They are getting a bit carried away with the paint job. It is going to look pretty special and certainly will be very visible!

Jazz it up - Yellow it is!

Time for that rusty red to be no more. We're going for a bright yellow paint job so we can't be missed!

Smoke from under the dashboard!!

Close one today when smoke came out from under the dash due to an electrical fault. Could have easily lost the car if it had caught fire. Back in the shop for repairs...
