The competition started with 136 cars, of which only a few made it to the finals. There were several tests including technical inspection, acceleration/braking, lateral acceleration and dynamic safety. The E-RA successfully passed them all.
Congratulations to the RaceAbout team.

Technical Support & Ongoing Development
Our European Technical centre offers full support & service for all our customer’s technical requirements. At Rushden we have a fully equipped laboratory that enables us to perform testing on our customer’s own substrates. This is an important element during the adhesive selection process as there are many potential variations in substrates and surface chemistries.
