James Meredith is the project manager for the WorldFirst Formula 3 project.  He is an engineer with a great deal of experience in the motor industry and a passion for motorsport.  He has recently finished his doctorate examining biomaterials for use in medical devices and is now leveraging this materials expertise to bring sustainable materials into the motorsport arena.

Dr Kirwan completed a four-year Masters in Mechanical Engineering before embarking on an Engineering Doctorate, which he completed in 2002. The doctorate focused on polymer glazing – or the use of plastic windows in cars – and formed the basis for further, current work in this field. But Dr Kirwan is now concentrating on further research, in which he is investigating the use of environmentally-friendly, or sustainable, materials in the automotive industry in a bid to create a low carbon car.

Dr Steven Maggs FIMMM has run motorsport projects at the University of Warwick for the last 7 years. He is a Materials Scientist with experience in a number of industries including light alloys, vehicle design and computer aided design. He is a board member of the Automotive Materials Division of the Institute of Materials. His interests include sustainable composites and light weight materials for vehicles as well as biofuels and their use in motorsport.

Ben Wood graduated from Warwick University and is now studying on the Engineering Doctorate programme investigating the use of sustainable materials and fuels in motorsport. He was project manager on EcoOne the predecessor to the WorldFirst Formula 3 car and has a great deal of experience in the use of green materials in motorsport.

Stephen Lambert is a graduate from the University of Warwick, now working as a Research Engineer in Warwick Manufacturing Group. His research is focused on developing innovative drivetrain systems for hybrid electric vehicles and electric vehicles for motorsport. He has papers published on the use of simulation in designing a hybrid racing car and also on using conjoint analysis to understand consumer perceptions of sustainable technology in the automotive racing industry. He is currently working on developing hybrid and electric drive-trains for Potenza Technology and Westfield Sports cars.
