Murcotts Trainer and Formula Ford driver, Samantha Reid has taken out second place over the weekend in Phillip Island’s Cool Drive Formula Ford Finale, becoming the only female to finish on a podium in 2010 Formula Ford Competition.
Samantha is passionate about driving well and believes young drivers can be helped to learn safe driving skills through appropriate education and training. Motor sport provides a great model for some young drivers because it demands discipline, fitness and drug free behaviour. "There is no place for young drivers who want to drive like hoons in motor sport", says Reid.
Samantha has been a leading trainer in the CAMS Ignition program for young drivers which also involves parents supporting their sons and daughters in education and vehicle familiarisation training supported by CAMS clubs.
Well done Sam.
