Following last week’s announcement by Beechdean AMR, confirming that Paul Hollywood will be part of the team, further exciting news has emerged regarding his co-driver. Reigning

Beechdean protégé Jamie Chadwick, the first female and youngest ever champion in British GT history, will team up with Hollywood. This will create a unique driving partnership not to be underestimated. Their opening race will be at the spectacular Spa Francorchamps circuit in Belgium, taking place on the 8-9th July. Hollywood and Chadwick will be racing in Beechdean’s second V8 Vantage GT4 car, which has a 445+ brake horse power.

The Beechdean duo plan to compete in the further two British GT races Hollywood originally planned to participate in. These will be Snetterton in Norfolk on the 6-7th August and Donington Park on the 10-11th September. Further to these British GT races, Hollywood has plans to participate in other championship races towards the end of the year.

Beechdean AMR have high hopes for Paul Hollywood and are keen to see him develop as a driver and expect him become a key member of the already successful, multiple title winning team. Andrew Howard, reigning British GT3 champion and Beechdean AMR team owner said “I am pleased Jamie is re-joining Beechdean in 2016, once she has fulfilled her educational commitments”

Paul Hollywood echoed Howard, commenting that “I am pleased both mine and Jamie’s schedules are compatible, and am looking forward to competing in three British GT races”

Jamie Chadwick is equally excited about the to-be-partnership with Hollywood, stating that “Racing with Paul is a unique opportunity for me and it is exciting to be starting at the glorious Spa Francorchamps. I am looking forward to being back in the Beechdean GT4, after such a successful season in 2015.”
