Rockingham Head of Operations in line for prestigious award

ROCKINGHAM’S Head of Operations will be lining-up among some of the fastest females in UK motorsport at the British Women Racing Drivers’ Club (BWRDC) stand at this year’s Autosport International Show.

Cat Lund has been nominated for the coveted BWRDC GoldStars Club Award, following her double rally championship-winning season together with driver Andy Rowe. The rally co-driver was crowned both the Flanders International Rally Challenge (FIRC) and BWRDC Rally Co-driver champion.

The 39-year-old, who joined Rockingham in 2007, enjoyed her most successful season to date co-driving for Andy in the pair’s Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 3, contesting the five FIRC rounds in Belgium and winning two rallies outright in the UK.

Only one of these prestigious awards is presented annually to club competitors and Cat faces stiff competition from fellow BWRDC racing driver members, BRSCC Mighty Mini Champion Louise Inch and BWRDC Championship runner-up Amy Barker.

Cat said: “I am absolutely delighted to be nominated for the BWRDC GoldStars Club Award. To be included as a rally co-driver clearly shows the club’s support for the achievements of women in all disciplines of motorsport. If I was to be presented with this prestigious honour, it would be the perfect end to an incredible 2010 season. The BWRDC exists to support and advise women in all forms of motorsport and as a member I’ve found it a great source of advice and inspiration.”

The BWRDC Goldstars Awards will be presented by BBC Sports Presenter Jake Humphrey, anchorman for the broadcasters’ coverage of the FIA World Formula One championship on BBC1.

The award ceremony will take place on Saturday (January 15) at the BWRDC Stand 6840, Hall 6, at the Birmingham NEC. The presentation is due to take place at 2.55pm and all visitors are welcome to attend.

The GoldStars are the BWRDC’s way of flagging up talent within motorsport and to help the nominees and winners promote and progress their careers. The winner of the club award will receive mentoring from international dual sportswoman and broadcaster Liz Halliday.
