Bridger joins Team West-Tec

Bridger joins Team West-Tec

Team West-Tec have signed Jay Bridger to spearhead their maiden season in the British Formula 3 Championship.

Bridger, 21, won the National Class title last season with Fluid Motorsport and steps up to the Championship Class with a Mugen Honda-powered Mygale. His engineer will be team founder Gavin Wills.

"I am delighted with the programme that we have confirmed for this season," said Bridger. "We aim to be competitive from the word go, even with our new engine and chassis package."

West-Tec's co-team principal John Miller confirmed that the team has also bought the Dallara F307 that Bridger raced last year and could run it in the National Class.

Miller is looking forward to working with Bridger over the season.

"Jay certainly made a great impression on us over the last year, and we were determined only to enter British F3 if we could secure a quality, talented and experienced driver," he said.

"In Jay we have an asset to the team both on and off the track. His pace is in no doubt to anybody who watched last year, and he is also going to be able to lead our car development programme effectively."

The team's British F3 programme will be run alongside a two-car assault on the European F3 Open (formerly the Spanish F3 Championship). No drivers have yet been named for that series.
