Double Signing |

Michael Mallock - son of Ray - has a lot of driving ahead of him this season. He's signed to drive in both the FIA Sportscar Championship and the Privilege GT Championship.
His prototype drive will be in the Swara Racing Pilbeam MP84 that he drove at Monza. His GT drive will see a continuation of his work behind the wheel of one of the Eclipse Motorsport Mantis GTOs.
"It's great to have such a busy season ahead of me," said the 18 year old (an ardent TotalMotorSport reader according to his father). "Driving in the FIA Championship will be a big step forward in terms of speeding up my career, and I think it's equally important at this stage for me to maintain a presence in the UK. I want to make a name for myself in GT racing too."
Roy Baker (Swara Team Pricipal) believes that Michael "has a great deal of talent and I believe he'll fit in well at an international level."
The Swara Pilbeam suffered with a crankshaft troubles very early on at Monza, but other Pilbeam runners have shown the potential of the car. But by Brno in July, Michael and Simon Wiseman will be in a new Tampolli, leaving the Pilbeam for Ben McLoughlin - as Swara expand to become a two car team.
Michael will continue to partner Shane Lynch in the Eclipse Mantis in the Privilege GT Championship - next race this weekend at Donington Park.
All he needs now is a listing on the TMS Directory link.
