Barbadian driver Zane Maloney has been selected as the latest addition to the British Racing Drivers Club’s (BRDC) Rising Star programme, and the first in the Club’s history from the Caribbean.

Zane, 15, has broken records in his debut car racing season with seven consecutive race wins in British Formula 4 for team Carlin, and currently stands 37 points clear as championship leader.

By invitation of the BRDC, Zane joins the likes of Lewis Hamilton and Daniel Ricciardo in the Rising Star scheme’s storied history in wearing the traditional ‘blue roundel’ logo.

Taking a break from his F4 British Championship campaign, Zane Maloney thrilled the fans on The Hill at Bushy Park Barbados with a sensational debut in the Radical Caribbean SR3 Cup (RCC), racing a car for the first time on his home track. During the Williams Industries International Race Meet (August 31/September 1), the 15-year-old claimed Pole Position in Saturday Qualifying, then won all three races on Sunday, clocking the fastest lap in the first two.
