Range Rovers are considered to be one of the environments biggest threats but Lancs & Cumbria Committee Member Laurie Boyle is setting out to redress this. Laurie accompanied by his partner Alison Hurst have successfully campaigned his vehicle in the British Off-Road Championship, where they managed a championship class win. The unusual thing about the vehicle was that its engine oil is made from Sunflowers and Oil Seed Rape by Fuchs Germany
The car was such a draw during the recent Science Week Exhibition at the Manchester Museum of Science & Industry , visited by 35,000 people of all ages, that curator, Nick Forder (Curator Air & Space) has offered the vehicle a permanent home from January 2008. The bio engine oil is totally renewable, is rapidly bio-degradable and is the first vehicle to use the oil successfully in Motorsport Competition. Laurie, far from sitting on this success is now looking at the next challenge, which is a class win in a fully bio fuelled and lubricated vehicle for the 2008 season.
