Bluebird Flys Again

Dura Sponsor Bluebird during their Landspeed Record Attempts

On the 13^th and 14^th August, Bluebird will fly again as Don Wales – grandson of Malcolm Campbell – attempts to beat the UK Land Speed Record for an electric car at Pendine Sands. Bluebird Electric ran originally in 2000, where the current UK Electric Land Speed Record was set at 137mph. In 2010, the Bluebird team decided they wanted to up the stakes – the ultimate ambition being the World Land Speed Record for a wheel-driven vehicle.

Like the Bluebird team Dura Workshop systems also represent Great British Engineering Excellence with its world leading workshop systems. Because of the long standing association that we have had with the Bluebird Innovation group we are proud to be supporting Don Wales and the Cambell family over the first record attempts on the 13th & 14 August and for the next 3 years of the project.

If your in or around Wales over the course of the weekend of the 13th – 14th of August please come along and show your support. Alternatively if you would like to find out more about the progress of their project please go to www.bluebirdspeedrecords.com.
