Did you know that the cars we have on the road today can be made more sustainable simply by changing the fuel they use?

Rilee's friend Eco runs on synthetic fuel, which is much better for the planet.

This is how it's made.

In this video, you can see the creator of Bridge Classic Cars Kids, Craig, on the radio, talking about our journey so far.

Tonight, we find out if we have won the innovation award at the @theroyalautomobileclub9480 Historic Motoring Awards.

We are all extremely proud of being a finalist, and this is the reason why...

We’ve set our sights on one of the most ambitious, but heartwarming, projects we’ve ever attempted, but we need your help!

Bridge Classic Cars Kids was launched at the end of 2023. Our aim is to help inspire and educate children on the importance of our history and how it can fit in a sustainable future.

From January to April 2026, we plan to take our Theatre in Education programme into schools all around Suffolk. But here’s the challenge, we want to offer this amazing workshop, to schools, free of charge.

The Story of Rilee blends live performance, interactive activities and hands-on learning for children to explore two really important themes: our past, and our sustainable future.

Welcome to our Theatre in Education workshop, The Story of Rilee.

This is an interactive, immersive performance designed especially for primary schools (KS1, KS2) that helps children learn about history, sustainability, and being creative.

In our live theatre experience, pupils will meet Rilee, a classic car from 1905, who is brought back to life using his original parts and some help from modern technology.

Rilee is joined by his friends Eco and Luxy. Both are classic cars that fit perfectly into a more sustainable modern world, thanks to conversions to EV or being powered by synthetic fuel.

Rilee leads children on a journey through time, exploring how past creations can influence our present, and how today’s choices can shape a more sustainable future.

Through multi-sensory storytelling, group discussions, and hands-on activities, pupils engage with curriculum-linked themes, including:

History & engineering

Environmental awareness & sustainability

Critical thinking & taking action

Understanding legacy: how the past shapes the present

Designed for KS1 and KS2, the workshop is flexible and tailored to different age groups and learning needs.

Our Theatre in Education workshops will tour from January to April 2026. If you’d like us to visit your school, please get in touch and we can discuss your needs.

Did you know that you can make a classic car more environmentally friendly by taking out its engine and making it run on electricity?

Rilee and friends saw a car just like this.

We took some of our favourite cars and turned them into cartoons…

What's your favourite car? If you put it in the comments, maybe we can turn your favourite into a cartoon too.

This Mercedes-Benz 380 Cabriolet A is so rare that even though it has been locked away for more than 30 years, and doesn’t even start, someone was willing to pay over £250,000 to buy it.

To give you an idea of how rare this car actually is, only 16 of them were ever made, and only three or four are still known to exist today!

Back in 1933 and 1934, Mercedes built just 154 of these “Model W22” cars. But this version, the Cabriolet A, was extra special as it had long, sleek lines, an open-top roof, and was thought to be extremely stylish for its time.

The Red Arrows are the UK’s most famous flying machines.

These acrobatic red planes usually show up at big events and leave red, white, and blue clouds in the sky behind them.

During King Charles’s recent birthday parade in London, these amazing planes did something for the very first time, they were powered by sustainable fuel!

Usually, jet planes, like the Red Arrows, use kerosene as fuel, which isn’t great for the environment. But this time, the Red Arrows were all powered by a special kind of sustainable aviation fuel, or SAF for short. It’s made from things like old cooking oil instead of fossil fuels. That means it creates a lot less pollution.

Even the colourful clouds the planes left behind them were made in a sustainable way. They came from hydrotreated vegetable oil. That means that fossil fuels weren’t used in this part of the parade either, and much less damage was done to the Earth.

Ferrari is famous for building very cool cars that can go extremely fast. The Ferrari team are now trying something new; they have built a very special racing boat! It’s called the Ferrari Hypersail, and it’s unlike any boat you would have seen before.

It’s A Flying Boat

Well, kind of. The Hypersail is a 100-foot racing yacht that glides above the water on special wings called foils. These foils lift the boat out of the water so it can “fly” on just three points of contact. It has a clever keel (that’s the long fin on the bottom of the boat) that supports one of the foils. There are two more foils on the sides and the rudder. This setup creates a flying boat!

There is one invention that has saved more than 1 million lives, and that is the three-point seat belt, which you’ll find in almost every car you see today.

Nils Bohlin was an engineer who worked for @VolvoCars back in 1959. It was during his time there that he realised the seat belts being used in cars were not as safe as they should be.

At this point, seat belts only went across your lap, and, in a crash, they usually hurt people a lot instead of helping them.

As Nils Bohlin used to design ejector seats for jet planes, he knew a lot about safety. He thought, “What if we made a seat belt that goes across your lap and your chest?”

That way, it would spread out the force of a crash and keep people safer. He designed a belt that looked like a letter “V” as he knew this would make it strong, comfy, and easy to use.

There is an event where cars race against each other around a track with no drivers, and it’s happening this year at the @AutonomousRacingLeague (A2RL).

What Is A2RL?

A2RL is a special kind of race where futuristic cars drive themselves around the track using computer programs called algorithms. These races test how well these programs can control the cars, making quick decisions the same way a human driver would. These cars do it faster than a human can, though.

When Is The Race?

The next race is on November 15th 2025, at the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi. There’s a £1.7 million prize that can be won for the best car!

Teams from countries like France, Japan, the USA, Germany, China, Singapore, Italy, and the UAE will compete to see whose car can drive itself the best.

Something exciting happened at the Snetterton Circuit in Norfolk: the @OfficialBTCC took over the track!

We spent the day watching fast cars race each other, while also meeting cool people and making some incredible memories.

Hello everybody!

I've just learned some amazing new stuff about cars and wanted to share it with you all. I've always wondered 'why do cars have oil in them?' and thanks to the classic car magicians, I know why now.

Take a look and learn along with me.

We recently spoke to Grace Webb who is a qualified teacher, journalist and television presenter. You will have likely seen her presenting the television coverage of the TT Motorcycle Road Races, Fifth Gear: Recharged, and, if you have children in your house - Grace's Amazing Machines.

As the granddaughter of Donington Park’s Race Circuit founder Tom Wheatcroft, it was fantastic to speak with Grace and find out about her work, current and future projects, and all things automotive.

This is how our conversation went:
