From the outset of the project, one of the goals of the British Steam Car team was to inspire young people and students to consider alternative, environmentally friendly methods of propulsion and to 'think outside the box'. The team has received many requests to attend engineering universities as well as high profile science and motoring events to talk about the project and display the British Steam Car. In order to fulfill appearance requests, the British Steam Car team is reliant on sponsorship to cover the expenses involved. After the tour has been completed the British Steam Car will take pride of position at The National Motor Museum Beaulieu as part of their land speed collection.
The British Steam Car Team would like to extend its appreciation to its sponsors and supporters. In particular Micro Movements and Goodyear who have kick started the teams UK tour with financial sponsorship and WTW Truck Hire who have generously agreed to provide transportation for the vehicle to enable us to attend the following events:
