Along the way he netted 3 wins, 6 podiums, 17 top five finishes and 3 fastest laps – one of those around the legendary Spa-Francorchamps circuit in Belgium.

To prove himself worthy of the title, Ben went up against nominees for the award in a five way shootout at the iZone Performance Centre at Silverstone. During the day judges put the drivers through their paces in several activities – driving simulators with eye trackers, interviews, physical assessments and psychological profiling.

After being chosen as the 2015 RSF MSA Young Driver of the Year, Ben said was he was honoured to be selected.
