Adam Durant joins the BSR – Ben Sharpe Racing stable, as the youngster prepares for his debut in the Milltek Sport Civic Cup at Silverstone this weekend.
Adam will be driving the team’s guest car, which has already seen both Nick Cristofaru and Dan MacDonald behind the wheel for the first four events of the 2024 season.
Adam has already been in action during the 2024 season, having competed in the AIRTEC Motorsport Fiesta ST240 Championship, one of the series that is on the TCR UK support package alongside the Civic Cup.
The Hertfordshire-based driver made the move to car racing back in 2019, where he has competed in the Vinyl Detail Fiesta ST150 Challenge before moving up to the Fiesta ST240 class earlier this year.
With plenty of front wheel drive experience to use, Adam joins the Ben Sharpe operation, which includes race winner Will Redford and current Paul Winfield Trophy points leader Spencer Stevenson as part of their 2024 line up.
Evaluating a possible move to the Milltek Sport Civic Cup full time for next year, Adam is eager to get on track at Silverstone, to see how he fairs against the current competitive field.
“I’m so grateful to have this opportunity to join BSR – Ben Sharpe Racing this weekend, as I make my debut in the Milltek Sport Civic Cup. I’ve had several years driving in the front wheel drive Fiesta championships, so I hope to put that knowledge to good use this weekend,” explained Adam.
“Having seen the Civic Cup in action earlier this year, it’s clear to see why it’s one of the best one-make championships in the country, with the racing being so close and exciting each weekend. As a Petrolhead, I love the cars and the racing, so this will be a great learning experience for me.”
“We are really excited to work with Adam and help him progress up the grid as he takes on the Civic Cup for the first time,” said Ben Sharpe, Team Principal of Ben Sharpe Racing.
“Adam’s drive and dedication align perfectly with our team’s values, and we are confident that together we can achieve his goals.”
