RC Mini Cooper at Olympics

[lpddpd]

I kept seeing these in the infield for track and field and was wondering what I was seeing...

They seem to work really well in operation..... they've just interviewed one of the drivers of the Olympic Minis on Radio2 (BBC national radio station). It appears that they were just picked out from the many volunteers that are working on the site, who signed up for assistance around the track & field not guys that were into R/C particularly.... kinda annoying really - would have loved to have the opportunity to do that job!!!
