Adding to his already impressive racing career so far, the current Protyre Motorsport Ginetta GT5 Challenge racer is delighted to be part of such an illustrious club, and honoured to be awarded Rising Star status.
“It is a great honour to have been selected for BRDC Rising Star status,” commented David. “The Club has such a great heritage, and when you look through the list of members you realise just how lucky you are to be a part of it.”
“The BRDC do so much for Silverstone and British Motorsport. The support I will gain from being a part of the Rising Stars programme will be a fantastic boost to my career going forward. I am going to grasp this opportunity with both hands and not let go!”

The news further supports Ginetta’s status as a the manufacturer of choice for the future stars of sports car racers, with many current and former racers being selected as members of the British Racing Drivers’ Club (BRDC) and for the ‘Rising Stars’ programme.
The Michelin Ginetta GT SuperCup was also announced as a qualifying championship for the BRDC earlier this year.
