Monty, former Team Leader for Formula Student graduated earlier in July and had this to say in respect of his experience with the Team:

"Formula Student UK was a great way to end my 5 years of university. The team did a great job preparing the car and it was fantastic to win the Top Individual driver award again. Formula Student has been a great all-round experience and it is sad to have to move on." 

The Team are on their way to Austria next: 28th July - 1st August at the Red Bull Ring and we wish them all the very best of luck!
