RYAN LAWFORD has crowned a successful first season in rallycross by winning one of the sport’s major prizes.
The 21-year-old, from Blean, near Canterbury, was voted Best Newcomer of the Year at the British Drivers’ Association annual awards night.
He is earning himself a reputation as one of the sport’s brightest young talents, after finishing second in his first year driving a Peugeot 205 in Stock Hatch racing.
Lawford said: "I couldn’t believe it, but was very happy. I thoroughly enjoyed competing at tracks all over the country."
