Quotes - Maisie Place, One Raceway Ambassador
“I’m thrilled to be appointed as an ambassador for One Raceway, in its former guise as Wakefield Park, it was my home track and I have some fond memories, including winning my division in the Wakefield 300 with Phil Alexander in 2019.
“It was so exciting when the track reopened as One Raceway, and to see the improvement in the circuit and facilities has been incredible. I can’t wait to drive the anti-clockwise Shelley layout!
“I’m looking forward to working with the One Raceway team to attract more people into motorsport and help educate people about all aspects of the sport, including the mechanical aspects of vehicle preparation.”
