Seb set for Mega Month
WRDA member Seb Morris is set for a Mega month in October, starting on Thursday 4th October when he will be the subject of an hour long documentary on Sky F1 HD (see seperate story). Then after the final races in 2012 Protyre Formula Renault Championship on the weekend 6/7th. (see below and also live on ITV4) he will be off to Spa Francorchamps of the Formula Renault 2.0 Northern European Cup races (see seperate story)
Seb Morris & Andy Meyrick will both be competing at this
weekend October 6/7th
Silverstone; Morris in the final rounds of his championship & Meyrick in the
penultimate one of his. Morris
is in contention for 3rd place in the 2012 Protyre Formula Renault
Championship, whilst Meyrick will be racing in the Porsche Carrera GB series.
Morris held the lead in his championship early on but a mid season slump say him
drop from being the leader down as far as 5th place, until a timely
podium finish in the last race at Donington Park saw him bounce back up to 4th
place . This has put him within16 points of regaining 3rd
place from David Wagner,
who now holds the place. Even if he doesn’t manage to close the points gap, it
will still have been a very good year for double Junior Champion Seb.
When considering Morris’ opposition
it is clear that several of his immediate rivals are older, or could be
considered too experienced, to be racing in what is a relatively low rung on the
senior racing ladder.
For instance current points leader,
Scott Malvern at age 23 is in his 4th year of single seat racing, and
is already a multiple championship and award winner!
David Wagner, a 19 year old Scot from Glasgow, is in his 3rd
year in Formula Renault and was 2nd overall in the 2010 Formula Renault BARC
Winter Cup, after an extensive career in Karting reaching as far back to 2005!
Josh Webster, an 18
year old from Ipswich, is also in his 3rd year in the championship.
After finishing 3rd in 2011 he had originally signed to race at a
higher level, until the planned upgrade failed!
Macaulay Walsh at age 17 from Northampton, is in his 2nd
year in the Protyre Formula Renault BARC Championship having had an extensive
career in Karting starting at 9 years old!
Still having got back on the podium with another Fastest
Lap to his name in the last race, and had some excellent grades from his GSCE
results, Sebs confidence should be sky high, and he has every chance of
finishing the year in fine style.
