ELECTRIC RACING CAR TO ENTER SPEED HILLCLIMB CHAMPIONSHIPS IN 2010

London, January 7, 2009: Bee Automobiles Ltd have announced that the Bee Four electric racing vehicle (ERV) designed by Martin Ogilvie, would participate in the British Speed Hill Climb Championship, with Graeme Wight Jr as the driver. Bee is now delighted to announce that the ERV will race as the BRM Bee Four ERV, reviving the BRM brand in its 60th year.

The BRM Bee Four ERV - code-named the 'Watt 4' - is an all-electric 4WD vehicle, capable of producing 700hp or 520kW. The ERV uses motor technology developed at Oxford University. Bee is a partner with Energy Efficient Motor Sport - EEMS.

The BRM Bee Four ERV will revive the famous BRM brand. BRM is a previous winner of the British Speed Hill Climb Championship, the F1 world Drivers' and Constructors' championships and a total of 17 F1 Grands Prix, with Graham Hill and Sir Jackie Stewart as two of the winning drivers.

Participants in the project include Rubery Owen, Oxford University, Oxford Brookes and MIRA Ltd - the Motor Industry Research Association.

The BRM Bee Four electric racing car will be driven by Graeme Wight, a two-times former Hill Climb Champion, and a man who has set four outright records at Doune, Loton Park, Prescott and Shelsley Walsh. Graeme announced his intention to drive the vehicle at the Changing Climate in Motorsport Technology event at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff on 4 December, which coincided with the start of Wales Rally GB.
