Team LOCTITE Milestones

1990
Trevor Powell founds Profile Seating Systems, and the company's Pro-Seat product rapidly gains a deserved reputation as the safest and most comfortable choice of seat for top-level single-seater racers.

1991
Seat debutants with Jordan to become the first Formula One team to use the Pro-Seat.

1996
South West Racing makes a low-key motorsport entry in the second half of the season, assisting Chris Buncombe's Formula Vauxhall Junior campaign.

1997
SWR switches to Formula Renault Sport as the official Swift works team. A glamorous launch event at Nigel Mansell's golf complex and a number of prominent sponsorship partners suggest a bright future for the team, but the inadequacies of the outdated Swift chassis result in the project fizzling out in disappointing circumstances.

1999
In partnership with the experienced ME Motorsport team, SWR runs a team of three Mygales in the second-string BARC Formula Renault class. Team leader Elliot Lewis wins eight races and the championship title but it's the startling progress of his 16-year-old team-mate Craig Fleming that really impresses. Christian McCarty splits with the team at mid-season but has already done enough to secure fifth in the championship.

2000

The ME Motorsport/SWR partnership takes Craig Fleming into the Scholarship Class of the British Formula Three championship, with assistance from future Duma Racing owner Hugh Oliver-Bellasis. Running an ex-Fortec Motorsport Dallara-Mugen Honda, the team initially takes the fight to class favourite Gary Paffett. Fleming makes an instant impression: shrugging off a nightmarish build-up to qualify second in class at the very wet Thruxton season opener. Several class podium finishes follow but, frustrated by a lack of progress, SWR and Oliver-Bellasis split with ME and pull Craig out of the series in mid-summer.

2004
SWR make a long-overdue return to competition in the inaugural Formula BMW UK Championship. 2 Wins, 3 Poles Positions.

2005
SWR expand into 2 squads for British Formula 3 National Class and the Formula BMW UK Championship

2006
SWR run Leo & Greg Mansell in Formula BMW UK Championship

Formed TeamLOCTITE to compete in Formula BMW UK & British Formula 3 International Series (National Class)

In Formula BMW TeamLOCTITE ran Oliver Turvey who won his first race with the new team and was second in his second race at a very wet Brands Hatch. The team then went on to record many more wins and podium finishes throughout the season with Turvey finishing second overall in the 2006 Formula BMW UK Championship. He then went on to win the highly prestigious 2006 McLaren Autosport BARC Young Driver of the Year Award.

2007
TeamLOCTITE ran three ‘rookie’ drivers in the Formula BMW UK Championship. Rookies in different ways Rupert Svendsen Cook had never even driven a car when he first tested at Snetterton with the team in mid January 2006. Sam Abay despite having finished second overall in the Asian Championship had never driven on a UK circuit, and Jordan Williams had finished second in his Ginetta Junior Championship but had never raced a Single seater.

It was a demanding season with the high points being Jordan’s podium finish in the penultimate race at Knockhill, being a just reward for his dogged determination and his skill in making his way ahead of drivers such as, Josef Kral (second in the Championship), Henry Arundel (third in the Championship) and Henry Surtees (fourth in the Championship). Jordan also set a new lap record jointly with Henry Surtees in their storming run from the back of the grid at Snetterton and he astounded viewers with his fight back following a drive through penalty at Donington Park having started from P3 on the grid to finish P7 in a shortened race.

2008
TeamLOCTITE will run two National Class, British Formula 3 International cars alongside their VdeV Fr sportscar programme.
