Cardiff-based racer Cameron Nelson will contest his first full season in the Wera Tools British F4 Championship certified by the FIA, joining the title-winning squad JHR Developments as part of their four-car line-up for this season.
At just 15, Cameron will make his single-seater debut at Donington Park, stepping up after an impressive record in karting at both national and international level. A former British Junior Max race winner, he clinched the prestigious BNL Golden Trophy at Circuit Genk by a commanding margin. Adding to his résumé further, Nelson earlier this year took victory in the Senior Rotax RMC Winter Trophy in Texas, USA.
Cameron has already accumulated valuable mileage in the Tatuus T-421 chassis, including productive running with the team at Circuito de Jerez and both wet and dry testing conditions at
Silverstone Circuit. With additional test days scheduled in the lead-up to the opening round, he is on track to arrive well-prepared for his rookie season. He will also gain from the guidance and experience of his manager, former championship-winning driver Duncan Tappy, as he takes his next steps on the single-seater ladder.
Cameron Nelson said:
“I’m really excited to be joining JHR for the British F4 Championship for my first season in single -seaters. It’s a great opportunity and I’m ready to get the season underway.
“I’ve had a few days of testing in the car and I’m really enjoying it. It’s very different from what I’m used to but it’s fun to drive. The team are a great bunch of people and have been very welcoming. It’s a good environment to learn in. My plan is to just soak everything up like a sponge. It’s been good so far and I’m feeling really comfortable and confident in what we as a team can achieve.”
Steven Hunter, Team Principal said:
“We’re looking forward to seeing how Cameron adapts as he joins what will be a very competitive British F4 field. His achievements in karting have been impressive, and we’re hopeful he can build on that foundation in his first season of single-seater racing. With significant testing planned before the year begins, he’ll have the chance to get fully up to speed. It’s an exciting journey ahead.”
