Douglass recorded 14 top-10 overall race results in Juniors last year – including eight Rookie podiums – finishing his first full year of car racing off by scoring three top-four placings in the Ginetta Winter Series last November.

Words from Elite Motorsport Team

Elite Motorsport Team Owner, Eddie Ives comments: “I’m really pleased to announce that Mckenzie is staying for his second year with Elite Motorsport. Last year was his first year out of karts and we built up a very good relationship with him. He has masses of natural ability. I’m very hopeful that he’ll be fighting right up at the front this year.”

Words from McKenzie Douglass

McKenzie says: “My aim is to win the championship. With a GJ season under my belt I believe this is achievable. I also know that there is a lot more to come from my side. Elite and I worked really together last year. Staying with them for a second Junior season was a no brainer for me. One of the main elements that I learned last year was the amount of commitment needed. This is a very competitive series.”
