The team proceeded to dominate the Formula First championship tables, winning the National title four times and the winter championship twice between 1994 and 2000. Having developed and trained championship winning drivers such as Danny Watts and Robbie Kerr who had moved on to dominate the Formula Renault and Formula 3 championships the team was now ready for a step up to Formula Renault.
