Radlett-based racing driver Alex Jones will return to the cockpit of a Formula Vee this season with Bears Motorsport.

The 24 year-old will be embarking on his fifth season in the 750MC Formula Vee Championship and will look to build on last season’s promising performances.

The 2017 season marks the 50th Anniversary of Formula Vee in the UK, and to celebrate, Cadwell Park will host a Vee Festival featuring non-championship races on July 29-30.

“I can’t wait to get back in the car this season”, said Jones. “The winter break sometimes feels like it’s taking forever, but I’ve kept myself busy by training and keeping focused so I can give it everything when I get back in the car.

“Unfortunately, due to personal commitments, it looks likely I’ll miss the opening races at Oulton Park, but my aim is to be out at Brands in May so I’m really looking forward to that.”
