Croydon’s Bradley Ellis is eligible to be nominated for the
Autosport British Club Driver of the Year award following the fantastic form
which saw him seal the 2007 Avon Tyres British GT Championship spoils,
alongside teammate Alex Mortimer.
The winner of the Autosport British
Club Driver of the Year award will be decided purely by Autosport magazine
readers, so Ellis needs your support to be in with a chance of clinching this
coveted award. The likely candidates were revealed in Autosport, the
world’s best-selling motorsport weekly, on Thursday 18 October. If you
have a copy of the magazine, you need to fill out and post the entry form on
page 70. But hurry, because entries close for judging on Friday 9 November.
Since its creation in 1982, the
roll of honour for the Autosport British Club Driver of the Year includes
British Formula One sensation Lewis Hamilton, double World Touring Car Champion
Andy Priaulx, not to mention the likes of Allan McNish and David Coulthard, to
name but a few of Britain’s racing elite.
Ellis, aged just 20-years, and
Mortimer took the Team RPM Viper to clinch the Avon Tyres British GT3 crown in
a championship fight that went down to the wire and the final rounds at
Rockingham. In his rookie GT3 year, Ellis helped take the Viper to four race
wins, two second-place podiums and two third-place podiums en route to glory.
Ellis commented: “It is an
honour to be put forward as a likely candidate for the Autosport British Club
Driver of the Year award, especially when you look at the calibre of the
previous winners. It really puts the icing on the cake after such an
unbelievable roller-coaster year. Now all I need is for everyone to complete
their voting forms to be in with a chance of winning against some tough
opposition.”
If you have shared the ups and
downs of Ellis’ season and rejoiced in his victory, then make sure you
vote using the form on page 70 in your copy of Autosport magazine, dated
Thursday 18 October.
