Title: Step up from a 2cv to a McLaren F1...

George Russell, the young driver who raced a 2cv at Oulton Park early in the season to gain licence signatures, has won the McLaren Autosport BRDC Award - prize is £100k towards next years racing and a test in a McLaren F1 car. Not bad for a kid who is still 16!

...And he has 2cv racing to thank for his racecraft and outright driving talent ;)

Same as the other 'young gun' who was at Oulton - Ben Barnicoat - he's done ok for himself too :)
