Will Crewdson is setting his sights on more top results in the Junior Saloon Car Championship this weekend (7-8 September) as the popular one-make series heads to Anglesey Circuit for Rounds 17, 18 & 19 of the 2024 season.
The upcoming trip to the picturesque track in North Wales marks the latest event of what has proven to be a whirlwind campaign for the Orex Competition driver that originally began at the start of the year.
Having always had a passion for motor racing, the 17-year-old entered the coveted JSCC Scholarship, which aims to give one aspiring racer the life-changing prize of a fully-funded season in one of the most competitive junior categories in the country.
Impressing an esteemed judging panel across a variety of key areas, Will was declared the winner and has since been making his mark as he builds towards what he hopes will be a fledgling career behind the wheel.
After getting to grips with both the car and the series in the early part of the season, Will - who is backed by Valued Accountancy and Hadrian’s Vehicle Services - has made huge strides in recent rounds to become a regular fixture in the points-paying positions.
Claiming a season-best finish of tenth place at Castle Combe, the North East born teenager is now focused on progressing further up the order; especially as Anglesey marks the start of the championship run-in - with events at Oulton Park and Brands Hatch left to run afterwards.
“I’m really looking forward to heading to Anglesey this weekend,” said Will. “It looks like another really fun track to drive that has a great mix of corners - all of which is going to help me learn and progress that bit further.
“Since winning the Scholarship at the start of the year it’s been somewhat of an assault on the senses to learn everything - that goes from the car and the series to everyone in the team and understanding what is required away from the track.
“I feel like I’m up to speed on all of that now and I’m heading into the weekend fully focused on not only delivering some good results but to also enjoy myself. Tenth at Castle Combe was great however I’m hungry for more and want to be challenging higher up before the year is out.
“Staying out of trouble and bringing the car home is the first goal but if I can mix it up at the front at all I’ll be over the moon. Qualifying is going to be crucial so we need to nail a lap and that can hopefully set us up for three strong races.”
Qualifying at Anglesey commences on Saturday at 12:30 with race one following later that afternoon at 15:50. Races two and three will then follow on Sunday at 10:05 and 14:10.
