Our future
When you have been setting records and winning races for 100 years, what do you do next?
Well, more of the same, of course! And not only are we aiming to set more world land and water speed records, we will also be returning the Bluebird name to the race track once again with the new and very exciting Bluebird electric race car project with which we will compete in the forthcoming Formula E racing series in 2014.
We also recognise the importance of brand building and sound commercial principles to allow us to take the various projects and initiatives forward through sustainable business partnerships driving income streams that will enable us to keep the Bluebird name at the very forefront of technology and racing success.
But that is only half the story as we will also be marking some pretty special anniversaries over the forthcoming years, so be sure and sign up for our newsletter or follow us on our social media links to keep up to date with all the latest events and announcements, or email the team directly for more information.
Below is an outline of some of the key events and activities, partnerships and initiatives that we will be involved in as we begin to write a new chapter in the great Bluebird story.
