2017 CIK-FIA Best-Of: Jamie Croxford, Team Forza Racing

– I started racing quite late. Several people noticed me like Terry Fullerton, Dean Panrucker of Millennium Motorsport and especially Paul Fletcher, who was decisive for me. I have great memories in Formula A, including my 6th place at the World Championship in Angerville. The arrival of KF1 then complicated things. I ended my driving career in early 2009. After two years away from the circuits, my passion was still strong. So I started working as a mechanic and coach in different teams including RFM. I was then offered the chance to lead a team and at the end of the season, several Drivers and mechanics wished to continue with me. That’s what pushed me to create my own team, Forza Racing, six years ago now. With the title of 2012 European Champion with George Russell in KF3, the team has progressively developed.

– We use Exprit chassis and this year we were powered by TM Racing from GFR. Our collaboration proved fruitful! The technical part is of course very important in a team. We must provide the best possible equipment for our Drivers. Forza is very well structured for that. I admit, however, that the human aspect of work fascinates me more. I am very attached to the quality of human relationships. Each personality is different and my approach is not the same with everyone. We must first develop a relationship of mutual trust. We do not necessarily need a lot of words to understand each other. That’s why the team cannot accommodate too many Drivers, no more than six or seven. I’m an emotional person, very passionate, and I’m happy to be able to count on Stewart Gibson , our Team Manager, to restore balance with calm and composure. Our partnership works really well. Mutual respect drives the whole team, and every opinion is important.
