QUEEN TAKES GB4 CASH
Colin Queen has won £20,000 towards a 2023 GB4 seat after winning the contest’s National Formula Ford Shootout following last week’s Snetterton assessment day.
The shootout was with the top-three teenagers in this year’s National FF1600 championship, and the 17-yearold Californian, who finished second overall in the table, beat Lucas Romanek and Brandon McCaughan to the cash.
The trio was assessed in individually designated GB4 cars from Fortec Motorsports at Snetterton, plus earlier this month in simulator sessions at Fortec’s Daventry base.
Chief executive of GB4 organiser MSV Jonathan Palmer said: “We were dealing with three very impressive talents at Snetterton, however Colin just seemed to have the edge with his overall performance. He certainly has the potential to be a frontrunner in GB4 next season.”
Queen said: “Next year I definitely wanted to do slicks and wings over here in Europe and in England, and GB4 was right up there on my list as number one.”
