20 Year Old Nigerian Driver Set for British Formula Ford Motor Racing Championship
There’s something about a man in “race track” uniform. If you haven’t heard the name Ovie Iroro yet, then it’s our pleasure to introduce him to you!
This 20-year-old UK-based Nigerian is
set to leave an indelible mark on the Dunlop MSA Formula Ford
Championship of Great Britain. Bella Naijarians, remember you heard it
here first!
Iroro, a mechanical engineering student
at University College London, is set to make his driving debut at the
championship, which takes place this Easter weekend (April 19th-20th) at
Donington Park in the UK.
The Dunlop MSA Formula Ford Championship
of Great Britain is an entry level motor sport category. It gives
budding race car drivers their first step into car racing, after they
have had experience in the “Karting” beginner-level phase of racing.
Speaking on Iroro’s potential, Andy Richardson, one
of the drivers from last year’s championship said,“We
have tested Ovie
already and we’re looking forward to giving him the benefit of our
experience. Formula Ford is the very best place to learn the art of
single-seater racing. It will be a steep learning curve for him but he
has talent and is starting in the right place.”
Ovie Iroro moved to the UK two years ago
not only to attend university, but also to fulfil his dreams of
becoming a race track star. Looks like he’s on his way to achieving this
dream.
We wish him all the best!
