Meyrick to head up Superstars scheme

Sportscar regular Andy Meyrick will take over as director of the British Racing Drivers’ Club’s Superstars programme from Tim Harvey.

Meyrick is a former member of the scheme and will take the place of Harvey – who has been part of the programme for 11 years.

Formula 2 champion George Russell and runner-up Lando Norris are the latest of five Superstars to graduate to F1 under Harvey’s watch.

“Tim has done an incredible job turning it into what it is today,” said Meyrick. “Drivers want to be a Superstar and all the members wear the badge with pride. I was a Rising Star and then a Superstar so I cannot wait to carry on the work Tim has done.”

Harvey added: “Superstars has been a big part of my life for the past 11 years and is something of which I am immensely proud. Due to my commitments to the programme it has meant that I have not had time to pursue a number of other projects and with two Superstars moving into F1 next season it seems like a good time for me to pass the baton to Andy.”
