The Swansea Metropolitan Formula Student team achieved a great result at the annual competition held at Silverstone finishing 2nd in the UK and 11th in the World, Dave Mcgowan of Swansea University had this to say:
Stephen Mead just keeps getting faster and faster and at the Summer Nationals set another personal best of 7.40, Stephen's engine has now run an impressive 100 passes using Lucas Oil, where as most bikes in drag racing would expect to run 30 to 40 runs and have to change engines.
