These awards highlight the talent within the BWRDC and are judged by a panel of industry professionals.

Lorraine Gathercole, chair of the BWRDC, said: “Abbi has such a bright future ahead of her.
“She has already proven at such a young age that she can compete and beat all the competition, being the only person to ever win back-to-back Super One British Championships.
“I look forward to seeing her name on the biggest trophies this industry has to offer and with the right support and sponsorship I have absolutely no doubt she will be a star.
“I know she is currently looking for local companies to come forward and help her move up to the next level of motorsport.
“We all too often look at the negative in young people and society as a whole – now we all have the opportunity to make a difference and help a positive, hard-working, skilled young lady – you have one right here.”
