Is Priaulx onto a winning formula?
SEB PRIAULX will make a big step up to single-seater racing in 2018 in the Formula Four British Championship.
After yesterday’s news that he has agreed terms with Arden to race in the championship, the 16-year-old hopes it is the next step in a journey that will eventually culminate in Formula One.
‘It’s a great feeling to have my 2018 plans confirmed,’ said a thrilled Priaulx.
‘We’ve got a very exciting year ahead of us racing with Arden in the F4 British Championship.
‘It’s a prestigious series with manufacturer backing from Ford and with my dad driving for the Ford GT team [in the FIA World Endurance Championship], it’s really cool.
‘To make the step up to single-seaters and race in British F4 is a real milestone in my career.
‘It’s always been my aim to live the single-seater dream.
‘Winning in British F4 opens doors and it is the starting point for Formula 1.’
