For sure switching from karts into sports cars will be a challenge, but I’m a fast and aggressive driver and I’ll be going for the win in every race!

Wayne Douglas, Team Principal Douglas Motorsport- “We have always run competitive campaigns in the Ginetta Junior Series and this year will be no different. I am honoured to run Enzo in 2016. His heritage and track record are both hugely impressive and I have no doubt he will be a contender for the Rookie Cup this year.”
