23rd McLaren AUTOSPORT BRDC Award winner to be announced
Young British drivers Emil Bernstorff, Tom Blomqvist, Alex Lynn, Scott Malvern, Oliver Rowland and Dino Zamparelli will find out tonight which of them has won the 2011 McLaren AUTOSPORT BRDC Award at the annual AUTOSPORT Awards in London
Autosport Awards
The Autosport Awards are a series of awards presented by motor racing magazine Autosport to drivers that have achieved significant milestones each season. Some of the presentations are selected by the general public via a reader's poll.
The victor will join the likes of David Coulthard, Dario Franchitti, Jenson Button, Gary Paffett and Paul di Resta on the list of winners of the prestigious award, which this year features a cash prize of £100,000 as well as the traditional McLaren Formula 1 test, plus full BRDC membership, Puma racewear for a year, and a TW Steel watch.
The six contenders were assessed in Mercedes DTM, Formula 2 and McLaren GT3 machinery over two days at Silverstone last month.
This year's finalists come from across the junior single-seater spectrum. Lynn beat Rowland to the Formula Renault UK title; the latter taking the Winter Series crown, while Malvern became champion in British Formula Ford.
Blomqvist was a race-winner on his way to sixth place in the German Formula 3 Cup while Bernstorff also competed in Germany, and finished third in ADAC Formel Masters. Zamparelli stayed on British shores and was champion in Formula Renault BARC.
