Powell to take on 2011 Formula Renault UK series

This is one for the ladies. Alice Powell, a female motor racing champion has signed with Manor Competition for the 2011 Formula Renault UK series.

Formula Renault UK is the leading single-seater championship in this country. The championships have launched the careers of great Formula 1 racing drivers, including Lewis Hamilton. The signing is great for Alice Powell as the events are covered by television media and will be great coverage for the 18 year old.

Alice Powell commented: "I am delighted to be working with Manor again... the team know how I work and, hopefully, together we can produce the right results in 2011.”

Alice is great inspiration for all those female drivers out there. She is the first female to win a Formula Renault race and to win a Formula Renault Championship. She has won many competitions during her career so far.
