We are happy to announce the signing of Mexican driver Fernando Urrutia to drive in the 2015 Duo BRDC Formula 4 series. This completes our line up, with Akhil Rabindra having signed recently.
Having won the National Kart Championship in 2008, Urrutia went on to win the Cuautla Championship in 2010 and was selected to represent the State of Morelos two years later in the ‘Mexican Heading to F1’ (Mexicano Rumbo a la F1) racing programme. Graduating into cars, he was named Rookie of the Year in 2013 after ending the F2000 campaign fifth overall. In 2014, Urrutia finished second in the PanamGP Spring Series, just being pipped for the title having taken pole position at every round. At the end of last season Fernando made his F4 debut, coming 6th in the Winter Series in preparation for this championship campaign.
Wayne Douglas, Team Principal Douglas Motorsport:
“I am delighted to have concluded a deal with Fernando, who is a promising driver with great pedigree. I think we now have a formidable team. I am looking forward for some top results again in 2015.”
Fernando Urrutia:
“I’m pleased to announce that I will be racing in BRDC F4 with Douglas Motorsport.
After working a lot in my development as a driver during last year’s F4 winter series and getting used to the car, I’m really looking foward to working with the team and l think we can do a very good job together and challenge for the title.”
