BWRDC Junior champion and student with the Race Driver's Academy, Cassey Watson has committed to the 2008 Junior Ginetta Championship and to York-based team Tockwith Motorsport.
The high profile BTCC support championship gets under way on March 29 at Brands Hatch where the 16-year-old will find herself going head-to-head for victory against Josh Hill, son of F1 World Champion Damon and grandson to legend Graham Hill.
The Evesham teenager said: 'We already knew that the championship would receive massively increased coverage when it became part of the BTCC package - the biggest domestic championship.
"Then we heard about a massive TV deal with ITV4 and now, with the famous Hill name back on the grid, the eyes of the world will be on us, I can't wait!"
