White switches from MR2S to Mazda Supercup

Toyota MR2 frontrunner Kristian White has switched to the Mazda MX-5 Supercup for 2018.

White’s team completed the build of his new car in just over a fortnight, allowing him the chance of a brief shakedown at Donington Park ahead of the Silverstone opener last weekend.

White, who had a best finish of 12th among the 37-car entry, said: “We got everything out of that championship [MR2S] we think we ever could, and decided to go for a higher-profile championship. We know it’s got some very good drivers here and we want the challenge.”
