Formula Salford competed in their first year at the Formula Student competition held at Silverstone in 2016. As a first year team, they competed in the static Class 2 events, finishing 18th out of 34 teams. Their highest result was 2nd place in the UK for the Business Presentation event. Looking ahead, the team aims to build on this experience and return to Silverstone in 2017 with the goal of designing and competing with a Class 1 race car. They will focus on recruitment, project planning, and fundraising over the coming year to work towards competing at the highest class level.
