Chasing 800

  • The Ship has left New Zealand

      30 July 2026

    The Containers were packed up and trucked to port last week. The ship left for Arica Port, Chile at 2.30 am yesterday! Next step is to get from Chile to Bolivia in four weeks time. That requires a 250k Bond and customs permits just to release the containers for transit to and within Bolivia. So many moving parts and people involved in just getting the Cars to where they need to be.

    Wairua2 our 10 metre streamliner is packed down and ready to ship to Bolivia. Next time we see it - test runs and fine tuning will commence with the sole focus of hitting 800kph ( 500 mph). We've already run it at 450 mph on 12 gears in the workshop so we're on track! Now to focus on fundraising. Appreciate you sharing our page all.
