No driver who’s won the Ginetta Junior Winter Series has finished outside the top two in the standings the following year if they’ve completed a full season. No wonder Seb Priaulx is feeling a little bit under pressure.
The 16-year-old son of three-time World Touring Car champion Andy was triumphant in last November’s contest. Combined with his strong seventh in the points in his maiden season of car racing, that make him one of the favourites for this season.
“It’s different to last year – I’ve got more pressure,” Priaulx admits. “But I feel good; I feel very secure in the car at the moment. This year is going to be a tough year, but I’m quite good under pressure.
“The Winter Series was a good win for me, my first proper win. We’ve now got to perform like that every weekend. I do a lot of mind coaching and that really helps in the races, and visualisation as well, and it helps with nerves before a race.”
