Tom Gladdis, a Gibraltar resident, is competing in the 2009 FIA Formula Two Championship and has become the series’ youngest driver.

British driver Gladdis joins Formula Two after finishing sixth in the Star Mazda Championship in North America. Gladdis took one victory, two pole positions and three podiums in just 10 races

Tom Gladdis said: “I’m particularly looking forward to competing at Spa-Francorchamps for the first time as it is a circuit at which I have always dreamt of racing.”

Jonathan Palmer, Chief Executive of championship organiser MotorSport Vision, said: “Tom has had a rapid rise through the ranks following his discovery by BMW in late 2006, and despite his lack of experience he was a genuine contender for the Star Mazda Championship in only his second season of racing. Whilst F2 is a considerable step up for Tom, there’s no doubting that he is a very talented young driver, and there’s every chance he could be one of the surprise packages of the 2009 season.”

The season starts with Brno then Spa and Brands Hatch followed by Donington Park and then on to Imola Italy then Germany, Barcelona and Spain.
