Wakefield to VWS

Mini Challenge JCW frontrunner Mark Wakefield has switched to the Volkswagen Racing Cup for 2018. Wakefield, who won the JCW seasonopener at Oulton Park last year, has signed for Team Hard and plans a twoyear spell in the championship. He was hit by clutch and differential problems on his debut at Silverstone last weekend, which limited him to ninth in the first race.
