Sims to graduate to Euro Series
Alexander Sims will graduate to the Formula 3 Euro Series next season with front-running outfit Mucke Motorsport, after being crowned the 20th winner of the McLaren Autosport BRDC Award last night
The 20-year-old, who finished runner-up in Formula Renault UK this season, announced the move on the stage at the Autosport Awards ceremony in London last night after receiving his award from 1996 world champion Damon Hill.
"After the Formula Renault season finished, Mucke offered me a test at Lausitz and it went really, really well, and they said they'd be interested in running me next season," he said.
"Mucke are a great team, and the only one consistently challenging ART during the last few seasons. I'm not saying we're going to go in there and beat everyone straight away, but I think we should be in a position to win races."
Winning the McLaren Autosport BRDC Award marks a watershed moment in his rapid rise through junior motorsport after just two seasons of car racing.
"Winning this award is a massive boost," he said. "I'm completely taken aback by it - it's such a massive honour and just looking at the list of past winners shows everything about what it means for a driver."
