Keohane aiming for early success

MICHAEL KEOHANE and Austin McHale face their respective assignments in Donington Park and the Circuit of Kerry with a common theme – success in a British Championship.

Keohane (22) is amongst 31 drivers in the line-up for the opening two rounds of the highly-acclaimed Avon Tyres British F3 Championship in the East Midland track, where fellow Cork driver, Matt Griffin, is also entering a new phase in his career in the British GT Championship.

The Clonakilty driver races with the Promatecme outfit. They have a vast amount of experience at this particular track and with Keohane’s record also strong at the venue, it’s not unreasonable to expect podium finishes as he begins an important year. Current Formula 1 stars, Ralf Schumacher and Jensen Button, raced with the Silverstone-based team, once again highlighting the series as a strong feeder category to F1.
