Ford Fiesta Junior race winner, Bradley Burns is the second young driver to confirm they will drive in the Clio Cup Junior championship.
The 15 year old will race for JamSport for his debut Clio Cup Junior campaign, and intends to prepare to step up to the senior Clio Cup championship.
“The UK Clio Cup Junior car marks the next step for young drivers in performance, technology, and engineering and if I can get a year or two of that under my belt before possibly moving into the senior UK Clio Cup – essentially the same car – then great,” Burns said.
“JamSport won the senior UK Clio Cup in 2016, so know these cars inside out. I know, therefore, I’m with a great team.”
JamSport have been watching Burns through his Fiesta career. The ability he showed in the championship made team principal Jamie Going believe he has a chance of taking the inaugural Clio Cup Junior championship.
“Bradley, driving for another team, pushed our drivers all the way in last year’s Fiesta Juniors,” Going said. “It’s obvious just how exciting a young talent he is, which is why we’re delighted to have signed him for our 2017 Clio Cup Junior line-up. He immediately gives us a great chance of going for the title.”
The only other driver to have signed for the championship is Max Marzorati.
The championship begins in June.
