Ones to watch in 2017

February 1, 2017 February 27, 2020

We often have big debates at Motorsport Radio about which is the greatest car or bike ever, who’s the best driver or rider of all time, as much as we love talking about who was great in the past we also love the future and predicting it.

Here are the 10 racers we’ve chosen that we think you should watch out for on track this season.

Racer	Racing in…
Dan Ticktum	Formula 2.0 Eurocup	After more than a year on the sidelines, Red Bull believed so much in Dan’s talent that they signed him up for his full time comeback.
Lando Norris	Euro F3	The brightest British talent in a long long time, He’s won 4 Championships in the last 2 seasons.
Mick Schumacher	Euro F3	Finishing 2^nd last year’s Italian F4 & German F4 Championship, the 17year old German will be tested in European F3.
Chase Owen	British F3	Constantly fighting for podiums in an ultra competitive British Formula Ford 1600 Championship finishing 2^nd behind Niall Murray.
Katie Milner	Ginetta GT5 Challenge	Katie is the current Junior Saloon Car Champion, taking the championship by style, We think she’ll do great in the GT5 Challenge!.
Charlie Nesbitt	CEV Repsol	Dominated Motostar in 2016, support of Scott Redding/Marc VDS and the Monlau group should see him shine this season.
Ami Jerger	BirelArt Series	Consistently improved on her performances in 2016, and is looking in a good position to take further victories in karting for 2017
Josh Whatley	Moto4 Spanish Championship	Came off the back of some very strong results in 2016, both in Spain and Cool FAB-Racing. Is in great contention to do well after signing for Fau55 Racing this year
Fraser Rogers	National Superstock 1000	Two podiums in 2016 and consistently top Kawasaki. His new spec ECU should see him consistently up front and battling for title in new format of races.
Blake Ansell	Kawasaki Ninja 300 Cup	Strong 2016 in Cool FAB Racing with multiple victories in the GP70 class, nearly taking the title but for injury.
