 Ross Curnow
Ross Curnow is
20 years old and one of the UK’s most promising young racing
drivers. After 8 successful years in karting, he made the move
to single seater racing cars in 2004 and completed an
astonishing first season. Having won a much coveted BMW
Scholarship, he contested the 2004 Formula BMW UK Championship
and achieved sensational results, clinching the Rookie
Championship at the last meeting. He was the only Rookie to have
taken pole position and win a race outright. He finished 8th in
the championship overall.
2005 did not go
as planned. The team for which he had signed and done all his
winter testing had to withdraw from the championship shortly
before the first round and although another team stepped in to
help, they were new to the formula and Ross struggled with car
problems throughout the season. Following an impressive win at
Knockhill in atrocious conditions, he finished the 2005
championship in 5th place.
December saw
Ross competing in the 2005 World Finals in Bahrain where, after
being nudged from behind and forced to pit in the pre-final
whilst in 4th place, he stormed from 29th on the grid to finish
7th in the final, and in so doing helped clinch the Nations Cup
for the British team.
After
invitations from teams to move into Formula 3 or Formula
Renault, and an outstanding Formula Renault test at Silverstone,
budget restrictions prevented Ross from moving on and he was
forced to stay with Formula BMW for 2006. His drive was severely
under-funded but in spite of this, he achieved 2 wins and 4
second places, finally being pipped into 3rd place in the
championship at the last meeting.
The target
for Ross for 2007 has been Formula 3 but lack of finance has
hampered these plans and the focus now is on raising finance for
a competitive season in 2008.
We hope you
