Taylor to Ricky Flynn for 2008

JICA star, Mackenzie Taylor has joined one of British karting’s leading teams – Ricky Flynn Motorsport.

Team owner, Ricky Flynn said “We’ve chosen Mackenzie on his merits as a driver to come and join us. We think he can do the job.”

After finishing a creditable 5th in the televised Stars of Tomorrow series - in which he was one of the featured drivers in the ongoing series coverage – the 14-year old will now begin a rigorous programme of testing and racing in preparation for an assault on the British, Italian and European championships in the KF3 class next year.

Mackenzie’s first race with the RFM team will be at the double-header Industrials trophy in Parma, on 14 and 21 October - “It’ll be tough there” says Flynn, “But it’ll give him a good grounding.”

Mackenzie is clearly excited about his new challenge, “I can’t wait. Ricky’s team is the one everyone wants to race for and he’s been behind the success of so many top-flight karters and racing drivers. I think with these guys behind me, you’ll begin to really see what I’m capable of.”

Last year Flynn’s team guided Ollie Millroy to the British ICA crown and repeated the feat in 2007 - this time with Sam Tordoff.

Mackenzie will campaign an Alonso chassis powered by Vortex engines and said, “The kart and engine package is very, very strong and for success in karting, this is crucial. I’m sure the results will simply get better and better now.”

Mackenzie added “I’d also like to say a big ‘Thankyou’ to all the people and companies who have helped me. Next year will be my busiest ever in karting and I hope I can reward their support with lots of wins.”
