Bernie Ecclestone
Although the BRDC and Will Hoy scholarships had come to an end Bernie Ecclestone brought his backing to the new ‘Bernie Ecclestone Driver of the Day’ award that saw the nine 2009 winners attend the 2010 Italian Grand Prix as VIP guests. Further prizes were announced with Formula Palmer Audi and the new Autosport Young Guns Championship, which took place in early 2010.
