In 2011, Steve set a new British speed record at the Cairngorm Extreme, hitting just over 70 mph.

This pedigree led to Steve being invited to Canada to act as a technical adviser for the Bodrodz Xtreme Gravity Racing team and their attempt to break 100 mph in a gravity car.

Ingenuity and a tight-fitting helmet fairing judiciously constructed with cardboard and gaffer tape was instrumental in raising the top speed from 97.74 to 101.03mph — a new world record.
