Following last year’s “John Miles Design and Innovation Award”, which led to engineer Tony Batten winning a £1000 cash prize in recognition of his efforts in penning the championship winning   Batten-3   750 Formula car; the 750 Motor Club are delighted to announce that John will sponsor an altogether different prize during 2015.

 

Rather than repeat 2014’s “Design and Innovation Award” John plans on turning his attention to spotting driving talent and will be attending a number of our race meetings this year to pick a winner for his 2015 “750 Motor Club Young Driver Award”. For those of you unaware of John’s past achievements, prior to embarking on a long and successful career in automotive engineering he was a driver of some repute graduating from club sportscar racing all the way to Formula One.

 

 

John started a total of 15 Grand Prix with a best finish of 5^th place in the 1970 South African GP and later raced in the both the European Touring Car Championship and international sportscar events, winning the 1971 RAC British Sports Car Championship.

 

John will once again donate a generous £1000 cash prize to the winner, and the 750 Motor Club will match this amount in credit against entry fees for the 2016 season.
