‘Haylestorm’ compete at Greenpower Race day

On June 23rd Hayle Schools electric race car team ‘Haylestorm’ took part in the South West regional heats at RAF St. Mawgan. Track temperatures of well over 30°C meant conditions were hot for the drivers and pit crew alike. The team, a mix of Year 7’s and 9’s produced a mighty effort working together as a cohesive unit and were disciplined and focused throughout. We were one of the few teams that didn’t incur a single penalty the whole race!  A creditable finish of 8th (out of 16 teams) was achieved and the team look forward to re-developing the car for next year’s event.

A huge thank you to our sponsors who helped us:  Cycle Logic in Helston, Cornwall Farmers, and Hendy Funeral Directors. We couldn’t have done it without you!

Well done Haylestorm
