George Richardson - 2011 Porsche Carrera Cup GB

Date of Birth:  26th October 1991

Home Town: Alderley Edge

Car Number: 28

Porsche Carrera Cup Category: Pro-am 1

Sponsors: Henderson Insurance

Favourite PCC circuit and why: Brands Hatch. There's always something to do, it's incredibly technical to get the last few tenths. Also I got my first point, first podium and first win here.

Carrera Cup Record:
2010: Finished in third place in Pro-am 2 with 4 wins and 13 podiums with Motorbase Performance
2009: Competed in two races with Motorbase Performance

Most memorable racing moment: My perfect race weekend at Brands Hatch last season, where I won both races and achieved fastest lap.

George began his career riding bikes before switching to four wheels in the Ginetta Junior Championship in 2007 and 2008. Winning the most improved driver award last year, the Motorbase young gun is stepping up to the Pro-am 1 category full of confidence.

"Last year was a learning year for me. I've learnt so much from people like Michael Caine and I've gelled really nicely with the team. It's been such a boring winter so I'm really excited for the season to begin.

"I think the advantage I've got is everyone is behind me in this team because I'm the youngest and you can only really learn off people like Michael Caine and Tim Harvey. I don't see it as a problem. It is more of an advantage as I can get away with much more. It's going to be pretty hard this season, but with plenty of testing and work in the gym I think it is realistic to aim for a top three place at the end of the year."
