Teen race age Tucker aims for racing scholarship

The scholarship is a two day shoot out of 34 drivers. 12 are taken through to the second day, and 6 into the afternoon before a final winner is selected. Drivers are put through their paces and assessed across a selection criteria; fitness, media, development, attitude and driving ability.
The winning driver receives a funded entry into the BRSCC Fiesta Junior Championship which has a long history of helping young drivers develop and move onto great success as they step into senior racing categories. Previous winners include Daniella Sutton (2024, now Formula 4), Lewis Islin (2025, now Ginetta Junior), Daniel Takyi (2026, Fiesta Junior year 2).
Reuben says "I'm prepared. I've practised the track at SIM Motorsport with Tom Ovenden, the Mini Challenge JCW Winner 2025 & 2026, and had a testing day in a race prepared Fiesta at Blyton Park with Jenson Brickley, previous Ford Fiesta Junior Championship Winner and TCR Europe Touring Car Series 2025 Champion. I'm aiming to win, and put Hemel on the map for Motorsports."
