Will Holtz from Deerfield, Illinois will join the 2020 Championship winning F1600 team RiceRace for the 2021 FRP F1600 Championship. The 16 year old brings 7 years of karting experience, some Lucas School events, and a season of F4 racing, as he joins the 24 race championship series spread over 8 event weekends. The F1600 Championship starts at Carolina Motorsport Park with 3 races on April 2-3, and has events at Mid-Ohio, Barber, Summit Point, Road America, Autobahn, and a pair at Pittsburgh. Will will drive the number 43 Mygale, bringing support from Linear Edge, Level Up Racing School, his parents, and grandparents.
"We did a test together at Sebring in January, and were very pleased with Will's pace. He won on his first weekend in the Lucas Series, and only had 1 DNF in a full season in F4. We work very hard to provide the tools and environment to help a young driver develop and mature. We would like to see Will win some races in 2021!" reports RiceRace owner, Greg Rice. “I am thrilled to be with RiceRace full time in 2021. I felt instantly at home in the F1600 car in Sebring. Given RiceRace's great results in 2020, I am confident that with a little more track time I can compete for wins against the talented F1600 field.”
The RiceRace Team will continue with a 2-driver lineup for all rounds of the FRP F1600 Championship series. The team will run a 3rd car at selected events, when scheduling permits. The team will also support FF cars at several SCCA events and the Runoffs. Seats are available and interested drivers should contact Greg Rice at RiceRacePrep@gmail.com. RiceRace also needs a serious driver to race in SCCA FC and the 35th Anniversary of FC event at the Runoffs in Indianapolis in September.
