We made it back this morning after a mammoth 23 hour drive from Nice. Enormous thanks to those who donated. A big thank you for all the messages of support from our Vice Chancellor, students and staff alike Sincere thanks too to those who helped us over evenings and weekends to prepare for this trip. It has been hard work. Long days driving over challenging terrain in car almost as old as a Fresher (with no air con and limited to 3000rpm). Danny the mechanic has been a star. All done for our student family. That’s what counts.

Day two is complete. We made it from Dijon, into Switzerland and over the St Bernard’s Pass (nervously) and safely arrived in Turin this evening. Tomorrow is the final leg from Turin to Monte Carlo. Thanks for all the amazing support through donations and on twitter. We Are Cardiff Met

Well.... day one is done. The big cat carried us smoothly and we are now in Dijon. The suits were warm to say the least. We all have left a bit of ourselves in them and the they have done likewise to us. Tomorrow we are in fancy dress of various sorts and we will hopefully cross the Alps. Cheers Danny, our Director of Racing Perfomance. You have pulled a blinder.
