Jackson Walls set for Formula Renault Eurocup with Arden
Arden Motorsport has announced that young Australian Jackson Walls will join the team for the 2020 Formula Renault Eurocup season.
The 17 year-old is currently competing in the Castrol Toyota Racing Series, where he recently took his first ever international victory.
Two seasons in the Australian Formula 4 Championship were followed by a dominant part-time appearance in last year’s F3 Asian Championship, where he finished sixth in the series with two podiums after only taking part in nine races.
The Formula Renault Eurocup visits Europe’s most-renowned circuits, and includes a support slot at the Monaco Grand Prix.
Australian Oscar Piastri took out the series title in 2019, and Arden Motorsport finished third in the teams’ standings.
Ben Salter, Arden Formula Renault Team Manager, said “everybody at Arden Motorsport is delighted to welcome Jackson to our Formula Renault Eurocup team for 2020.”
"He’s got a strong track record in Formula 4 and Formula 3-spec machinery, and all of that experience will be very useful in terms of driver development as he adapts to a new car and a very competitive championship.
"Jackson’s speed has been very impressive in the ultra-competitive TRS championship and we are looking forward to him continuing that this season in the Eurocup.”
Jackson walls said “it’s a privilege to be joining Arden Motorsport for Formula Renault Eurocup for 2020 and I greatly appreciate the trust that everyone has placed in me.”
"The team’s heritage shows it can provide an outstanding driver development environment, especially given the number of current Formula 1 drivers that have driven for Arden on their rise to the top tier.
"I’m looking forward to competing in the New Zealand Grand Prix this weekend, the final round of TRS, before moving to the UK to join the team.”
