Adrian Quaife-Hobbs is one of the UK’s brightest motor racing stars, having been awarded the highest accolade in British motorsport, an invitation to join the BRDC Rising Star programme, one of only 40 in the country, of the estimated twenty thousand UK licence-holders, Adrian Quaife-Hobbs’ achievement of becoming a BRDC rising star at just 15 years old is the youngest ever to be awarded, is truly remarkable.

As a result of becoming the 2005 BRSCC T-Cars champion, the youngest ever winner of an MSA sanctioned car racing championship, Adrian Quaife-Hobbs established himself as one of the few drivers tipped for International stardom, his meteoric rise impressive in its entirety.

Like many world championship drivers before him, Adrian Quaife-Hobbs started off his career in karting, aged just 11, winning four races in his first season, and taking second place in the Formula 6 Championship. Moving up to the more powerful Minimax the following year, it was to be a steep learning curve, but one which Adrian Quaife-Hobbs rose to, taking several podiums and a race victory.

The following year Adrian Quaife-Hobbs was out for the title and won the Bayford Meadows Championship by more than one hundred points and established a new lap record which has only recently been beaten, by just one tenth. The same year, Adrian Quaife-Hobbs also won the Buckmore Park and Lydd International Raceway titles and held the lap records at both tracks.

In 2005 the time had come for Adrian to progress into cars, and at just 14 years old chose the established T-Cars route that has guided many top-line International drivers down their chosen path. A remarkable run of success through the junior saloon car series saw Adrian Quaife-Hobbs claim an astonishing eight victories and two second places from 18 rounds and totally dominate the end-of-season Autumn Trophy winning six of the seven races.

The teenager started the 2006 season looking to increase his car-racing experience in T-Cars but with 30 car races and 17 race wins already under his belt, and not a lot left to learn in the restrictive one-make series, has opted to spend the rest of the season testing various different cars for 2007 season.
