CHADWICK TO MAKE RALLYCROSS BOW AT PEMBREY THIS WEEKEND
W Series dominator to join the grid for RX150 buggy challenge in Wales
Two-time W Series champion Jamie Chadwick will headline a number of star entries within the British Rallycross Championship 5 Nations Trophy roster this weekend at Pembrey.
Chadwick, who has experience of offroad racing in the Extreme E series, will compete in the RX150 Rallycross division for single-specification, singleseater buggies on her rallycross debut.
“I’m so excited to get my first taste of rallycross at Pembrey in the RX150 championship,” said Chadwick, who currently leads the 2022 W Series standings driving for Jenner Racing. “It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a long time so I’m very grateful to Pembrey for the opportunity. I’m looking forward to learning as much as possible and enjoying the experience.”
Chadwick will be joined on the grid by six-time back-to-back British Truck
Racing champion Ryan Smith who, while accustomed to racing on the circuit racing layout at the Welsh venue, will be getting his first taste of mixed-surface action this weekend.
Smith claimed a brace of wins in the BTRC last weekend at
Donington Park.
“Pembrey is one of my favourites tracks on the calendar to race at,” said Smith. “I’m looking forward to getting behind the wheel of something that is very much out of my comfort zone. I’ll be giving it my all and I’ll look to put on a show for the fans.”
Also competing in the RX150 division will be former British Rallycross Junior champion Tom Llewellin, who most recently has been competing in rallying, while Barbados drivers Greg and Luke Cozier will race in the second day of the event, Greg Cozier having raced in the opening round of the BTRDA Clubmans Rallycross Championship this year.
