The autograss graduate taking club racing by storm
Autosport selected two-time Civic Cup champion Lee Deegan as last season's best club racer, but he spent his formative years in a very different discipline
For many aspiring drivers, their formative years are spent in one of the hundreds of karting championships that run across the UK. But, for two-time Civic Cup champion Lee Deegan, his early motorsport career was in an entirely different discipline: autograss.
Deegan, 27, began competing in a 1000cc Mini, having watched his father race from an early age. He successfully raced a variety of different machinery on dirt ovals, culminating with a campaign in a rear-wheel drive Duratec-engined buggy.
