During the early nineties Hillspeed concentrated its activities on building, preparing and maintaining high performance road and race cars that required meticulous preparation and attention to detail. Hillspeed launched its Formula Renault campaign in 2003 and has been competing competitively in the series ever since. The potential of Hill Speed Racing was quickly acknowledged by John Booth of Manor Motorsport who required a team to handle the introduction of McLaren supported Chinese driver Franky Cheng to the British racing scene. For 2006, the team has branched out into the extremely competitive and popular BARC Formula Renault Championship.
