It has now been six months since we picked the SRZero up from Heathrow after she had made the long journey back from Argentina. Six months where the team have been focusing on getting back into the routine of everyday life in London. Some members are back in their old jobs, some have continued on ...
I don't think any day on the trip so far had been so hyped up as today had been. The distance we had to cover was only 380km, but the route was an entirely separate matter. From Rio Gallegos we had to drive 60km south to the Argentina/Chile border whereby we had to reenter Chile ...
As we had not made our big distance yesterday, we wanted to drive a long leg today which was not only required by our schedule, but also by the fact that there are so few towns in this part of the world; we have to do massive cross-country hops to get down to the bottom ...
As we had not driven yesterday, we were keen to get up early and do a massive leg in order to maintain a good contingency buffer so that we would not be at risk of missing the 15th November target date in Ushuaia. Our goal was Comodoro, 600km to the south east, located on Argentina's ...
Another 7am start beckoned before a cloudless drive across the desert. We all met up to pack the van at the aforementioned time, and after following up with a quick breakfast and essential cup of coffee, the convoy left the hotel and rejoined the Pan-American Highway mere metres from the hotel's entrance. Today was set to ...
An exciting coastal drive of 240 miles awaited us today, and after the later than usual start, we were packed, breakfasted, and back on the road by 9.45am. Unlike many of the other small towns we have stayed in on our journey through Peru, this was actually a place you wouldn't mind spending a few ...
Lima to Ica Despite the relatively short drive we had planned today, only around 300km, we had a lot to fit in what with a visit to the University of Lima and a trip to Salvador and Fernando's race track. So, after our alarms ringing at the hideous time of 6.30am, we arrived at the university ...
As we had arrived in Lima a day earlier than expected, we had one day free before the press event on Wednesday which therefore allowed us a slightly more relaxed Tuesday than normal! However, there are always things which need to be done and so we did not attempt to have a sleep in or ...
Today we had the ambitious plan of leaving the hotel (which as you may recall was not actually a hotel!) at 8am, giving a presentation at the university at 8.30am, and leaving bang on 9 o'clock. Normally everything takes so much longer than expected as there are 9 people to be in the right place ...
If we were to hit our deadline of leaving Quito on Thursday, we had an awful lot of work to do today! So, as usual, we found ourselves at Pro-mecanika at 8.30am. The list of work for today was extensive, but we were really determined to move on to our next destination, so we hit ...
