BRDC MEMBERS' PODIUM ROUNDUP 18-03-2019

Following on from an impressive start to the 2019 season for BRDC Members and Young Drivers, more podium success has been enjoyed by drivers associated with the Club. Two championships have also been confirmed in February; firstly by Rising Star Jamie Chadwick in the MRF F2000 Challenge Championship and secondly by Full Member Paul Di Resta and Rising Star Phil Hanson in the Asian Le Mans Series. There is a real sense that the 2019 season is building in momentum with just under 40 BRDC Members and Young Drivers in action during the most recent weekend. With more major championships due to start in the coming weeks, we expect there to be more success stories throughout the BRDC.
