Description:
A group of friends have brought their skills together to transform an old-school Volkswagen Beetle, named Tope, in order to take part in one of the world’s most ruthless races. The Baja 1000 is a Mexican desert race which takes place annually in the Baja California Peninsula. It’s the longest point to point off-road race in the world, that's run in a single day. Josh McGuckin, one of Tope's mechanics, explained how much of a challenge preparing for the race was for the team. He told FutureStudiosCars: “Driving this car in the Baja 1000 can be summed up for me in one word, exhausting.” To an outsider the car would appear as just a “really old bugg” but once inside, “suddenly it just comes to life”. Starting with the VW Beetle was a huge undertaking for the team, as they had to modify the classic 1970 car to be suitable for the incredibly harsh conditions. However, the extreme nature of this race did take its toll on the well-loved vehicle, “every time you come back from a race, you’re constantly rebuilding and replacing everything”, Josh explained. The bugg may not be the fastest car, but it’s capable of doing the job for this team. And the teamwork paid off as Tope triumphantly reached the finish line. Josh spoke about his relief and elation, “every time we race this car, we learn something new.\

We want to work <br/>with the governments on <br/>implementing it. The private <br/>sector has a role to play,Stewart Harris, an industry spokesperson <br/>with the International Council of Chemical <br/>Associations, via 'The Independent'.<br/>'The Independent' reports that the Scientists’ <br/>Coalition for an Effective Plastics Treaty provided <br/>scientific evidence on plastic pollution at <br/>the negotiations.<br/>I heard yesterday that there’s <br/>no data on microplastics, <br/>which is verifiably false: <br/>21,000 publications on micro and <br/>nanoplastics have been published, Bethanie Carney Almroth, an ecotoxicology professor at Sweden's University of Gothenburg who co-leads the coalition, via 'The Independent'.<br/>Ecuador's chief negotiator, Walter Schuldt stressed that <br/>countries present at the negotiation share a common <br/>vision of moving forward in the treaty process.<br/>Because at the end of the day, <br/>we’re talking about the survival <br/>of the future of life, not only <br/>of human life but all sorts <br/>of life on this planet, Walter Schuldt, Ecuador's chief <br/>negotiator, via 'The Independent'")
