The team consisting of Guy North, Louie Ludlow, first time pedaller, Jordan McCrae, all from Lord Williams's School, Thame and Callum Nicoll of Bicester put in an extremely impressive performance at the Curborough Sprints, Litchfield, winning all three races on the day to win their class and secure the British Championship in their first season.

The championship run by the British Federation of Pedal Car Racing.
The event consists of seven rounds including a 'Le Mans' style 24 hr race held at Shenington race circuit in June.

The custom built cars are Human Powered Vehicles (HPVs) powered purely by the driver.

More than 43 cars registered to race in the 2009 season with teams competing from across the country.

The Brill 1st car lacked some of the bodywork sophistication of their rivals but what it lacked in aerodynamics was made up by very fast pit stop driver changes and the level of fitness of the boys involved.

Team captain Guy North said: "We have covered over 1200kms and have endured pain, sleep deprivation, rain, and the occasional collision.

"I couldn't have enjoyed it more. I'm proud of this win; it has been a real team effort with off track strategy as important as on track performance."

Brill 1st would like to thank Brill Scouts for contributing to their win by providing the original insight into the sport and additional drivers most notably at Shenington and Blackbushe.
