Mark Burdett Motorsport are
pleased to announce their 3 car entry for the 2008 Formula Renault UK
Championship.
Former team winter series driver,
Richard Kent returns to the team and
to Formula Renault after a season in Formula Palmer Audi. Kent
will be hoping to secure podium finishes early in the season as he did in FPA
last year.
Kent is
joined by another driver to have competed in the Renault backed Super One
karting championship, Tom Armour. Armour will be making his Formula Renault
debut with the team at Round 1 of the series at Brands Hatch in March. Armour
sat out for the 2007 season to concentrate on his first year at Lincoln university and has
been rapidly adapting to the Formula Renault car since starting testing towards
the end of 2007.
After a season in Formula BMW
Germany, Thomas Hylkema completes the line up and will enter the season as the
teams most experienced driver. The Dutchman’s season in German BMW stands him
in good stead if the team history with ex-FBMW Germany
racer, Markus Niemelas’ results are anything to go by from the 2006
season.
Speaking after completing the
entry forms at the Autosport International Show recently, team principal Mark
Burdett said
“Over the off-season we have
invested in new equipment and staff and are continually moving the team forward
and this has paid off as we have 3 strong drivers signed up early in the year!
The whole team are working hard and we are all looking forward to the
season.”
