On the 24th July 2010, Competitors will amass at Battersea Park to take part in the first race of it’s type in the world. Welcome to Challenge the Green Machines.

Over the course of 3 weeks teams will travel 2,500 miles across 10 European countries to Istanbul, Turkey without leaving a carbon footprint.

A fantastic spectrum of challengers have been working on the project. Teams of cyclists plan to employ sheer muscle power, sailors will be praying for sympathetic winds, a solar powered car is looking at its longest ever trip and a team with an electric car and single battery have been looking at the feasibility of employing what is usually a commuter vehicle in an endurance capacity.

1.    No carbon is to be emitted whilst in transit
2.    No laws, either domestic or international, are to be broken in your quest to reach Turkey

So what happens next? All details should be on this website, but please contact us direct if you need any further guidance. The application form is available which we recommend completing quickly as spaces are already running out. The team here may contact you if your project seems too outrageous, so please put down as much detail as you can on the application form.
