Sandy Mitchell It has been an extremely busy year so far for young motor racing sensation Sandy Mitchell. The 17-yearold, now a Former Pupil, left the High School of Dundee in September to take up a place at Loughborough College, which specialises in training budding professional racing drivers.
Competing in the British GT Championship earlier this year, Sandy made his appearance in the Black Bull Garage 59 McLaren 570S GT4 race car. The highlights of this competition included the Snetterton round, which saw two podium finishes for Sandy, and teammate Ciaran Haggerty, both a win, and also third place. The previous year, Sandy had penned a significant piece of British motorsport history by becoming the youngest ever driver to stand on the top step of the British GT Podium. His successes have continued to grow since then. Furthermore, and perhaps most notable, was the Rockingham round of the GT Championship, producing yet another podium finish of second place. Moreover, Sandy was awarded the Sunoco Fastest GT4 Driver of the Weekend Award, for both the Rockingham, and Snetterton rounds.
