Barr’s Challenge

Irish teenager Reece Barr is to contest the Mini Challenge JCW championship next year with the Excelr8 team. Barr, 16, made his debut in the championship at the final round of the season at Snetterton in October, and will now enter the full championship with the squad. Excelr8 will also run Mark Wakefield next year, who switches to the team after finishing 10th overall in 2016.
