Endorsement by Chris Hodgetts

"For 2009,I am really anticipating an enjoyable and successful year, especially as I have the directive to assist a great up and coming talent. 16yr old Josh Wakefield will be embarking on his first season of car racing, competing in the Junior Saxmax championship. After an initial appraisal last year, it became immediately obvious to myself that here we have a great talent to be nurtured during this season. Josh can best be described as a 'slightly rough diamond', he has the required speed and commitment, and with some fine polishing I am sure that together we can develop a jewel. Many attributes are required for success, Josh has a natural talent, his demeanor and character are totally suited to a career in motorsport, he is photogenic and a pleasure to work with; basically, he listens and learns very quickly, and understands all areas where he can improve."
