2009 - 2010 Campaigns

Brazil and Traffic

It was raining in the morning and the view from the room at Casa Del Mar was decidedly gloomy. Even the waves along the beachfront looked sullen.

But there was work to do and Rio Centro, a massive display venue next to a racetrack, was where to do it.

First to Pavilion 5, site of the exhibition that will be part of the 2010 Bibendum in Rio, was where to register and to receive the first package of publications about this world famous event.

Then on to Pavilion 1 where most of the cars entered in this Bibendum were starting to gather. A truck carrying the MOL sea freight container was waiting to unload. Would the solar car and spares as well as tools be in good shape? This container had been on the high seas for 7 weeks with a stop to change ships in Singapore. Most of all will the solar car survive the heat and humidity for so long?
