F1 Hoverpod® Racing Ltd.

This is simple look back at the year of F1 Hoverpod® Ltd and a reminder of the progress and developments that have been made and confirmed to be used in the new Manx GT Craft.

The New propeller/fan blade which has caused so much interest is presently under development and will be shown in the New Year. The key development and areas of challenge to F1 Hoverpod® Manufacture Ltd were a reduction in noise, an increase in air flow and a stronger more durable blade that was fit for purpose and placed safety at the forefront and without compromise.

The second development that was confirmed was the new fuel and fuel system. Both of which were developed with the help and support of a world leader in the area of fuel technology. This called for a new type of fuel tank which was a major issue when considering the challenges of racing. The solution was as always “no compromise” and the very best in the world was the answer. A product which meets all the standards of European legislation for vehicle fuel storage in vehicles. Once again, this will be displayed for the public in the new year on the “Manx GT”.

Finally, the “All New Manx GT” hull technology that has caused such a stir. This has been developed with the help of the Institute of Materials & Mining who as we all know are the world leader in the field of composite technology. The breakthrough in the durability and reduction in wear has astonished the very best.

Finally, I wish to send out a message of thanks to all our true supporters, sponsors and partners who have seen us through a difficult year. A very special thanks to those who have sent such good comments through the blogs and web sites of support which has been very encouraging.

This leaves me with one final task. To Wish You All A Very Happy New Year for 2010 from all the team at F1 Hoverpod® Ltd.

It’s been a long and very hard winter here in the North of England and despite the experts constantly telling us about global warming, it’s snowing outside and I’m freezing. However, I understand our supporters and friends in Australia are suffering a heat wave in Perth. “I have no sympathy as I’m sick with jealousy”. Here at F1HP the progress and start of the year often gets off to a slow start and we are no exception. However it’s good news on the fan blade developments and whilst I’m under constraints not to say too much, we have some news graphics being produced to which will be posted shortly on the web site and form part of the new brochure. I wish to thank you all for pointing out that www.f1hoverpodracing.eu and www.f1hoverpodracing.org had not been working, whilst I’m not 100% sure, I am informed there were some problems with the server and all will be fully functioning by the end of this week............ ”I hope” !!!. I did make a promise that I would keep you informed of the progress in regards to the liable comments on the internet, I understand now why they who are alleged to be posting them are so worried about their own future, see below. 1. Click Here 2. Oh My God It is my understanding that the customer who carries the vendetta against these people were well known to them and are now suffering from the experience of buying from them. Both Steve & Andy lost their business as a direct result of the reliability and warranty of this company. However, our research department has obtained a copy of the annual accounts and returns of this company and the recommendation was “Not worth taking action” as they have no assets and too many creditors. In total there is a deficit of over £600.000.00 and no way of repaying the debt, as such it looks like a question of possible trading illegally and I prefer to say let them hang themselves. Keep the interest and comments flowing, they truly are an inspiration. Team Manager

25^th December 2009

 

This announcement is for all of our supporters who have followed our blogs and postings throughout the year. The wonderful support shown by you all through this very testing year has been a major encouragement to all our team members and justifies why their loyalty and faith in the direction we are following is simply second to none.

We are aware of the very damaging postings which appear on a frequent basis, we are also aware that the professionals who support our business never pay attention to idle gossip. What I did promise was that in 2010 it would be addressed, and you can be assured this will be the case later on in the year.

I do want to let you know that we have several new sites which might be of interest and can be found at the following:

1.       www.f1-hp.co.uk

2.       www.f1-hoverpodracing.co.uk

 

All it leaves me to do is wish you all “A Very Merry Christmas” from All of The Team at F1 Hoverpod®

 

All the Very Best.

20th December 2009 It’s less than a week to go before the jingle of Santa and his sledge arrives and a good time to reflect upon a year of good old fashioned honest hard work and the achievements we have made at F1 Hoverpod® Ltd. Much interest has been shown in the race clubs and major support from one of the world leaders in the Brewery Industry, the details are to remain private at this stage but I’m sure you will all be delighted at the collaboration to which complements & benefits both parties. The manufacture of the “Manx GT” has been met with a glint of surprise to many supporters, the feeling was that we were making a modified version of a home made craft not too dissimilar to ones already being sold on the market place. You can imagine their Surprise & Reaction which has become the International feeling that most if not all of the comments on the internet are without foundation and more importantly are simply un professional and could be construed as Liable. Lets see what 2010 brings and what (if any) Reaction is forthcoming when the final showing of the product is revealed some time in the new year. To those who have offered comments based upon fact, the census of opinion seems to be that a major Failure to a particular Reaction may be forthcoming. From all the Team at F1 Hoverpod® Ltd, We Wish You All A Very Merry Christmas.

Team news @ F1 Hoverpod® Racing 17th December 2009 It’s just over a week to Christmas and you might think there is nothing happening at F1 Hoverpod® Racing & F1 Hoverpod® Manufacture Ltd, well how wrong can one be ?. The pre launch luncheon in Lincolnshire was a true success which attracted some very serious interest to the support of the program. The reaction to the proposition was a thumbs up and the reaction to the images of the “Manx GT” were simply “Wow”. The Team at F1 Hoverpod® Racing Ltd & F1 Hoverpod® Manufacture Ltd are poised to announce a major story which will break sometime in the early part of the new year 2010. As this is a World Breaking Announcement, I’m under a gagging order until cleared to post the exciting news. I would ask that you keep a very close eye on the news sites and blogs for this news breaking. All there is left to do is “Wish you all a very Happy Christmas” and all the Very Best for 2010 from all the team at F1 Hoverpod® Racing Ltd Team Manager

Exhibition & Pre-launch Showing As you all know the date for pre-showing of the “Manx GT” has been a well kept and closely guarded secret in order to keep the sceptics frustrated a little while longer. The private viewing invites have gone out to the select and privileged few of which they know the location and venue for said display and promotion and pre launch of the product. The date has been confirmed for December 2009 and you should now have your invite which went out in October. The exhibitors are limited as this is a private showing for privileged and corporate clients who have supported us throughout. Firstly I wish to thank the our two main supporters “Royal College of Art” and the “Institute of Materials and Mining” for providing the opportunity to display at the exhibition in Grantham in December, this is one of the most prestigious of all private exhibitions to be shown in the UK and the purpose of the exhibition is to show to our honoured guests and VIP’S from the world of vehicle design what we can be achieved. We are also their to show support for the Institute of Materials and Mining in promoting the Spark Award of which F1 Hoverpod® gained it’s merit in 2008. As most of you are aware, in the early days at F1HP we were very lucky to have had support from the IOM with full access to the materials and composites expertise to which the IOM is a world leader in this area and the expertise has shown to be invaluable to F1HP. As always, a huge Thanks for the trust and support shown. Team Manager

November 1st 2009 Whilst I always do my best to be ahead of the game, I did not expect to be posting a new announcement within 24 hours. However, News is news. I have now been cleared to make a brief announcement in relation to engine management system for the Hoverpod® range. A total re-mapping of the software has been undertaken in order to further reduce emissions and increase power throughout the whole rev range. The result and outcome being a much more even flowing power band and more efficient use of the fuel. The effect on the craft is to increase fuel consumption with a major reduction in emissions which is very good for the environment. For those who are calculating the cost (not F1 Hoverpod®) and feel they wonder why we spend at such levels, perfection is required and demanded by our customers and interested parties and the £250,000 for engine mapping system is what it costs in the modern world of Motor Sport. The challenge was to make a world beating product, the result is so far on budget and better than first expected. Team Manager

31st October 2009 News from the European Investors is all very positive. Whilst I’m not at liberty to say the who, what I can confirm is that a world recognised name in the sound and environmental emissions and systems providers has now confirmed their interest toward the supply chain. A total redesign of the whole exhaust and emission system has now been instructed, the result will be world class and a complete revelation of what can be achieved. The two key areas under review are the erosion & corrosion through salt water intake and Co2 emissions. At the same time as working on these issues, noise will be addressed in order to set a world beating sound emission limits. We need to pay thanks to our investors from Europe to whom wish to remain private, although I can confirm that that the cost of developing an exhaust system for the Hoverpod® is in the region of £400,000 and may take the form of two types. The first being a supply for the “Manx GT” and the second being for the leisure market craft. I will confirm any additions and updates when cleared to do so by the promotions team. A Huge Thanks for the support. Team Manager.
