| TEAM BRM CONFIRMS DRIVERS FOR CLIPSAL 500 FORMULA FORD DEBUT | | Adelaide’s Team BRM has today confirmed their driver line up for this weekend’s first round of the 2006 Ford Racing Australian Formula Ford Championship at the Clipsal 500 Adelaide.
Englishman Ben Clucas and promising South Australian talent Shane Wright will give the team a driver line up more reflective of a Commonwealth Games athletic event rather than a driver line up for one of the country’s top open wheel teams.
The two drivers will be the first to steer a Team BRM Formula Ford in the Australian Championship, the team taking the step into Formula Ford competition this year to compliment their existing championship-winning Australian Formula 3 efforts.
When the pair take to the track for opening practice on Thursday it will be the culmination of a fortnight’s hard work for the local team, having only taken delivery of their brand-new Van Diemen RF06 chassis’ within the last week.
A combination of long hours and plenty of dedication from the Team BRM Crew has seen both cars completed within deadline and well before the cars are required at the 3.2km Adelaide Street circuit Thursday morning.
Both drivers will be hoping to reward the team’s dedication with strong results on the demanding Adelaide circuit this weekend, as the team aims to shine on its Formula Ford debut.
21-year-old Clucas will head to the Adelaide streets after demolishing a competitive field in the Kumho Tyres Australian Formula 3 Championship in New South Wales two weeks ago.
Clucas scored a pole position and two race wins at the Wakefield Park F3 event and will take equally impressive credentials into his Australian Formula Ford debut
