The 2012 Season Starts Here
The last week has seen a flurry of activity as championships big and small held their annual media days and opening tests, with some already even getting down to racing proper. The British Touring Car Championship heads strongly into a new all-turbo generation and this year boasts 10 models from nine different marques on its 24-car grid, including the technicolour liveried return of the MG name.
The BTCC season opener hits Brands Hatch on 1st April, followed a week later by the first rounds of the British GT Championship and the British F3 International Series at Oulton Park. While some single-seater formulae have struggled in recent times - Formula Renault postponing its UK series due to poor entries - British F3 continues to attract young talent. With recent champions including the Scuderia Toro Rosso pairing of Daniel Ricciardo and Jean-Eric Vergne, its status as a stepping-stone to Formula 1 is hard to dispute.

Awarded annually in recognition of the most outstanding performance by one of the British Racing Drivers Club ‘Rising Stars’, the trophy was presented to Malvern at the club’s annual awards on Monday by former World Champion John Surtees. It was the first time that the 1964 F1 title-winner and father of late Formula Two driver Henry had attended the awards to hand over the trophy, which was instituted in 2009.
Said Scott at the presentation: “I knew Henry and raced against him at the start of my career in cadet karting. It is a great privilege to receive this award in his honour from John; I'd like to thank him and the BRDC for recognising our achievements this year.”
Malvern’s superbly successful season in Formula Ford brought him 18 race wins - 13 of them consecutive - on the way to the championship title, as well as a clean sweep of EuroCup challenge victories.
