A Northumberland teenager is set to take to the track after securing offers to compete in a racing championship after honing his craft in his bedroom.
Will Crewdson, from Corbridge, has received offers from two race teams to drive in the Junior Saloon Car Championship (JSCC), despite not being old enough to drive on the roads. He does, however, hold a Motorsport UK competition licence from the Association of Racing Driver Schools.
The 16-year-old has trained on a professional racing simulator in his bedroom and is now looking for regional sponsorship to support the cost of competing at some of the UK's best known tracks, including Silverstone, Brands Hatch and Donington Park. Will is balancing his motorsport ambitions with studying for his GCSEs, and hopes he can fly the flag for the North East, which he claims is underrepresented in motorsport.
