2008 People's Eco-Rally
Brighton-Kent-London, Summer Solstice, 2008
At the height of fuel protests over the price of oil, and the heated debate about food vs fuel, Revolve set British motorists a challenge: "drive from Brighton to London in the greenest way you can. The destination was a music festival on Clapham Common, where the drivers were tested for eco-driving skills whilst their cars were tested for emissions. The winners each received a Navman satnav and shared their green-driving knowledge with the assembled crowd as a finale to the LoveLondon Festival
