2011 squad strengthened with addition of Euro Max vice-Champion

STRAWBERRY Racing has signed Ed Brand to contest next year’s Euro Max and British Super 1 titles, ending much speculation over the young star’s future.

Announcing the deal, Strawberry’s Team Manager Warwick Ringham said: “I’m delighted to welcome Ed to Strawberry Racing. I have watched his career with great interest over the past three years and have been consistently impressed. He has proved that he has a considerable ability to adapt to and develop new material. We have a wealth of talent already here at the team, but Ed will strengthen and add to it.”

The reigning Super 1 Junior Max champion and World number three commented: “To join what is effectively the works Tony Kart team in Rotax is a very big deal for me. The EVR chassis is fantastic and I have been very impressed with everyone’s professionalism. I am confident that we will continue to gel successfully and before long, challenge for wins.”
