Well, take a look at these photos from Tiro Racing team & wonder no more 😄
All hail the UK F1 in Schools England National Champions 2017!!
We are delighted to sponsor Tiro Racing, a team of six engineering apprentices from Kingston College, SouthWest London, competing in the 2017 F1 in Schools competition.

| Meet the Tiro Racing team! |
They first competed at the London and South East Regional Final, held at the CEME centre in Rainham, East London on the 8th February. Here, against 25 other teams from around the region, they emerged in 2nd place in the Professional Class as well as winning the award for the best team
identity. Due to this success, they then qualified to represent the area at the UK National Final.
The F1 in Schools UK National Final took place at the internationally acclaimed Silverstone GP Circuit on the 29th and 30th of March 2017. The National Final consisted of the best 30 teams from 11 different regions across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The level of competition over the two days was extremely high, with quite possibly the highest standard ever reached
for a UK National Final. The stakes were undoubtedly high with the top 3 placed teams overall, along with the Home Nation Champions, being able to progress further in the competition to the World Finals...
