McLAREN YOUNG DRIVER AWARDS
McLAREN AUTOSPORT AWARDS 2002
THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE NOMINATE YOUR FAVOURITE DRIVER IN THE AUTOSPORT MAGAZINE 12TH SEPTEMBER 2002 ROCKETROBTVR@AOL.COM Also the star of "blind date" for my sins! ROB URQUHART. 21 YEARS OLD FROM LEEDS. TVR TUSCAN CHAMPIONSHIPS WITH TOP CATS RACING. Rob started his motor racing fascination when he was 15 years old as a track marshal at a local Go Kart Track. He couldn't afford to buy a kart so had to work at a Sunday Market, getting up at 3am until he had enough money to buy his first Kart. Rob began racing Karts at a local track and won many races. He then decided to compete in an International Race car Driving event at Silverstone in order to get his first Car Racing Licence, unbelievably Rob won his first car race by twenty four seconds and the racing world was opened to him. On his return home Rob approached Richard Dean of Team JLR, a local Formula Ford Team and stated "I want to be a racing driver". Rob eventually talked Richard into Testing him and was signed up immediately afterwards to contend the 2000 Slick 50 Formula Ford Championships, where Rob battled against some of the names in today's F1 Line up. Unfortunately in the following season Rob had a horrific accident which left him with a broken neck. Despite been told he may never walk again, Robs determination and the Brilliant care from the hospital meant that he made a full recovery. Remarkably Rob wanted to race again and try and fulfil his ambition as a professional racing driver. He decided to compete in the TVR Tuscan Championships, mainly because of the massive costs involved in single seater racing. Rob has gone from strength to strength this year and has been fighting for podium finishes in the last 5 races and setting blistering lap times. Rob has the talent to go all the way in the sport, he just needs the right break! Give Rob the opportunity to fulfil his potential by nominating him for the McLAREN young driver of the year award 2002 buy buying the AutoSport Magazine on Thursday 12th September, which is the only time to vote! Many, Many Thanks for your nomination. Rob Urquhart WARREN GILBERT 2002 TEAM MANAGER "Rob is a joy to work with, despite having very little budget Rob and the team have pulled together and have been able to do very well, i feel that with his determination and talent he can go as far in the sport as he wanted" |
