at Prestigious Autosport Awards

This  year’s  British  Formula  Ford  Champion  and  BRDC  Superstar Wayne  Boyd  celebrated  a  milestone  year  in  his  racing career  with  a  night  amongst the  stars  of motor   sport  at  the  prestigious  Autosport  Awards  ceremony  in  London  on  Sunday  night  (7 December).

Boyd, who is only 18 years old, was one of six finalists for the McLaren Autosport BRDC Young Driver of the Year award, which was set up in 1989 to recognise and reward the talents of up-and- coming racing drivers. Boyd is now working with his management team on finding a competitive seat in next year’s British Formula 3 Championship.

 "I have really enjoyed testing with all the leading Formula 3 teams, but it is now crunch time. We need to decide what will be the best move, as we want to be fully prepared for the season ahead. Next year will be a high profile year in the British F3 Championship, so we need to secure the most competitive drive possible. I’ll be aiming to take the fight to the field from the start of the season."

Ulsterman Boyd, from Templepatrick, won this year's British Formula Ford Championship and the annual Formula Ford Festival at Brands Hatch in October, just days before his 18th birthday.
