Lloyds joins Team Parker for
Porsche Carrera Cup GB
Daniel Lloyd, the 2012 Porsche
Carrera Cup GB Scholarship winner, will race for Team Parker Racing
this season after signing to race with the Leicester-based squad.
Lloyd (19) from Huddersfield
won £80,000 towards his 2012 Carrera Cup GB programme during the
final of the Scholarship and has elected to join one of the most
successful teams in the championship. Team Parker Racing, headed by
Stuart Parker, has contested the Carrera Cup GB since the first season
in 2003 and will now go into the tenth season with Lloyd as a key
member of its multi-car squad.
“The team makes a big effort
with everything,” said Lloyd. “One of the things that really appeals to
me is that there will be other quick drivers in the team that I can
learn from. I tested with Stuart Parker and the team at the end of last
year and everything he does is very good.”
Lloyd will join fellow
Yorkshireman Richard Plant in the squad and raced karts against Plant
in his formative years. Lloyd says he can’t wait for the start of the
new season. “I’ve never looked forward to something so much. This is
the most important year of my career so far.”
Parker is pleased to have
signed another strong young racer. “Daniel is an exciting prospect,”
said Parker. “He has shown well in testing with us and we’re looking
forward to working with him. I think he’ll be competitive straight out
of the box.”
