With all the attributes to forge an excellent career in motor racing and in recognition of their strong recent performances and potential to succeed throughout 2021 and beyond, six new drivers have been recruited to the British Racing Drivers’ Club’s prestigious Rising Star Scheme.
All of the following drivers recently completed an interview in the Clubhouse with members of the Rising Star selection panel and it is the Club’s pleasure to welcome them to the BRDC:
Ollie Bearman – Championship leader in both the ADAC German F4 Championship and Italian F4 Championship, and race winner in the GB3 Championship
Ollie Gray – Race winner in the F4 British Championship
Lorcan Hanafin – Front-runner in the Porsche Carrera Cup GB
Matthew Rees – Front-runner in the F4 British Championship
Adam Smalley – Championship leader in the Ginetta GT4 Supercup
Bailey Voisin – Championship leader in the GT4 European Series
Aged 24 and under, the BRDC Rising Stars are very much the future of the Club, today. Scouted from trackside, the BRDC Rising Stars are in effect ‘Junior Members’ of the Club, all taking their motor racing very seriously and all aiming for a professional career within the sport. From all four-wheel racing disciplines, the Rising Stars represent the BRDC in a wide variety of championships worldwide, and from the races contested while wearing the scheme’s unique ‘blue roundel’ it is hoped the Rising Star will graduate to the ranks of Full membership.
