Duncan Tappy has been recognised throughout the motorsport world as one of the future stars in racing. Having been identified as one of the top six British prospects for the McLaren Autosport Awards he then had his talent recognised further by being made a British Racing Driver Club ‘Rising Star’ in the summer of 2006.

2005 saw Duncan’s first full season in car racing with a remarkable thirteen consecutive race wins in Formula Ford. Not only did he take the championship by storm in the second part of the season, he dominated the prestigious Formula Ford Festival at Brands Hatch where he faced stiff competition from international Formula Ford rivals.

The next step for Duncan was to progress to a ‘slicks and wings’ car for 2006 and he chose Formula Renault UK to make his leap. He spent his first season with his old Formula Ford team – Jamun Racing – learning the car and the engineering aspects that make it such a competitive series.

2007 saw a move to Fortec Motorsport where Duncan wasted no time in making an impression. Heading towards the end of the season, Duncan is leading the Championship having won just under 50% of the races to date.

Testimonials

Rear Admiral Roger Lane-Nott CB, BRDC Club Secretary

“Duncan has impressed us enormously with his performance in both the BRDC McLaren Young Driver of the Year finals, and last season in Formula Ford. He has displayed considerable potential and the BRDC is delighted to include him amongst their Rising Stars.”

Alan Hyde, Motorsport Commentator

“As a race day commentator, interview opportunities are usually confined to drivers who experience success or failure on the track. Podium or pit lane. In either type of interview, Duncan is an easy, eloquent, considered, and an all round complete media friendly interviewee.
“Sometimes commentators have to fill gaps in the action. Only a few drivers can deliver an eloquent and meaningful interview at any time, and this is just such a time that we need them. We hold a few drivers in mind that can do this - good talkers and all round pros.
“Duncan is one of my bankers. An all round pro. A driver who is learning the trade from every angle for the modern day sport - successful on track, and media friendly off it.   I hope the success continues."
