Dream-Racer blog

We launched the blog in October 2006 to explain the ideas behind all Dream-Products and how our adapted technology could help disabled children and young adults race radio controlled cars and trucks, play games on the Sony PlayStation or have better computer access for school work and private time.

Click on these links to read the individual blog entries covering new ideas, new product developments, charity events we have supported, exhibitions we visited and participated in and media coverage of Dream-Racer and Dream-Gamer.
