The son of legendary Guernsey racing driver, Andy Priaulx, looks set to follow in his father's footsteps, as he prepares to compete in the Ginetta Junior Championship next year.

Seb, who is 14 and the current Guernsey Kart Club Champion, will make his debut in the Championship at Brands Hatch on April 2nd.

I’ve had a great time with Ginetta already, in both the scholarship and the winter series, so now I’m really keen to get going with the main championship! The car is great to drive and hopefully we can add to the strong results we had in the Winter Series when the season begins.

The Junior Championship is for drivers aged 14-17-years and is viewed as a realistic route into professional touring and sports car racing.

There are ten race weekends in next year's calendar and the competition will be broadcast live on ITV4.

It’s great to see Seb - who finished second in this year’s scholarship - going on to enter the championship. He showed excellent pace throughout the competition, and really challenged in the rookie class of the winter series, so we look forward to following his progress in 2016.
