Oscar Piastri and Jack Doohan awarded by British Racing Drivers' Club
Oscar Piastri and Jack Doohan have both received awards from the British Racing Drivers’ Club.
The pair of young Aussies were celebrated for their success in FIA Formula 2 and FIA Formula 3 respectively.
Despite cancelling the BRDC Annual Awards Lunch due to rising COVID cases in the UK, the BRDC handed out the end-of-year awards and highlighted the 42 championships won in 2021 by BRDC members.
Piastri was awarded the Bruce McLaren Trophy, given to the BRDC member from the Commonwealth “who has established the most meritorious performance in international motor racing.”
Doohan received the John Cooper Trophy for the “ highest placed British or Commonwealth driver in the FIA Formula 3 Championship.”
“On what would have been our day of celebration, the BRDC would like to highlight the wonderful achievements of our Members, BRDC Young Drivers, and other people from within our sport,” said a statement from the club.
