Cook full of praise for protégé Collingbourne
2014 Renault UK Clio Cup runner-up Josh Cook has heaped praise on his young protégé Rory Collingbourne after the 17-year-old dazzled in testing on his first visit to the fearsome Thruxton circuit.
Collingbourne, from Newport in South Wales, will become one of the youngest racers in Renault UK Clio Cup history this year but in signing for Cook’s own new Cooksport squad he surely has one of the best teachers around.
Cook commented: “This was one of the most positive tests I’ve ever had with a driver. It was his first time at the track but he picked it up quickly, learnt a lot, listened well and produced good pace and very impressive data.”
