Élite Cymru is aimed at providing the most highly promising sports competitors in Wales with the support they need to achieve their potential and the award was made following Alex’s achievements in 2008 - his first year in single-seater racing during which he achieved 6 race wins, 13 pole positions, and 9 fastest laps in the Scholarship class of British Formula Ford. | ![]() |

scheme and Alex (left) is naturally thrilled to become a member. He is also one of the first motor sport competitors to be taken on. The support, awarded for three years, will be reviewed annually against clearly defined performance plans and targets. |
