The team is currently preparing for the technical inspection on Wednesday, which is in Ahoy in Rotterdam. Some two hundred ecocars and their teams have already gathered in the convention center.

The race marks the climax to a nerve-racking period that started last week on Tuesday when the car received a license plate from RDW, immediately followed by the official presentation of Isa at the Automotive Campus in Helmond, and a tour across the Netherlands. The road trip included visits to sponsors Würth anf NXP, and the Hilversum Media Park, where media were very interested in the little grey-and-silver city car. The media frenzy resulted in items in newspaper De Telegraaf, Giel Beelen for 3FM, NOS Radio 1 news, BNR News Radio, Vandaag de Dag and Hart van Nederland.
