The third edition of the Team Canada Scholarship will grow to include two young Canadian drivers. The focus will continue to be the world renown Formula Ford Festival held at Brands Hatch, England in late October.

After a very successful debut in 2011 with the first Canadian on pole for the final and leading the early laps, the program continued in 2012 and once again showcased the talent that Canada has in the junior formula car ranks.

Both Xavier Coupal (2011) and Garett Grist (2012) have moved up  with Grist Signing with Andretti Autosport for the full USF2000 Championship and  recently earned a podium in the USF2000 winterfest.

Drivers who will be vying for the coveted prize will once again be competing in either FF1600 or F2000 in several different Championships across North America. The Toyo Tires F1600 Championship (OFFC), The Formula Tour 1600 Series (Quebec F1600), both the F1600 and F2000 Championship Series (USA) and the USF2000 Championship (USA) are the series that the Team Canada Scholarship will choose from.  With a large contingent of eligible drivers competing it will once again be difficult to select the winners.

“We are so pleased to expand our program and go to England with not one but two shots at glory” comments Brian Graham, a Team Canada Scholarship founder. ”We are working very hard to secure the funding to build the program and have some exciting new ideas of how to help raise money and build awareness of the program.”

Graham was on stage during the road racing forum at the recent Canadian Motorsports Expo and used the opportunity to announce the expansion of the Scholarship.

“We have some terrific supporters that are the cornerstone of the Scholarship with Grote Manufacturing and The Race Drivers Guild of Canada. We will be announcing some new partners shortly and will be revamping the  website to give weekly updates and let people know about some events we will be holding during the year to raise funds as well as awareness of the Scholarship. Our Facebook group is also a great way to stay in touch with us and interact with us as well. “

One such event that will be held this summer will be a track day where people will spend a day driving their own cars on a proper race track with some of Canada’s top amateur racers giving instruction as well as a few guest Pro drivers. Several contests are being planned as well that will see the winners receive free race tickets to some of Canada’s biggest Motorsports events or be part of the pit crew for a race team at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park.
