Joel Pearson makes a full time return to racing after confirming he will drive for Chris Dittmann Racing for the 2022 ROKiT British F4 championship.
At just 16-years-old, the Brit is making a full time return to racing after his recent diagnosis of bone cancer last year which put his racing on hold.
After having undergone specialist treatment and chemotherapy in Germany, Pearson is ready to make his return to racing and has recently rested the new Tatuus T-421 with Chris Dittmann Racing for his return.
Pearson Commented: “I’m absolutely ecstatic to confirm I will be racing in ROKiT British F4 with Chris Dittmann Racing in 2022,
“It has been a very challenging twelve months to get back to this position, but I’m immensely grateful for all the support I’ve received, not just from family and friends, but the entire motorsport community.
“It has been a huge motivation for me throughout my recovery to get back in the car and back to what I love doing, which is racing. I’m now looking forward to the next chapter in my career with CDR, and hopefully to a successful season ahead.
“There will be plenty to learn, and it is an incredibly competitive field, but all we can do is work hard, leave no stone unturned and put our best foot forward. I’m relishing the challenge.”
Chris Dittmann, Team Principal, commented: “Everybody at CDR is delighted to welcome Joel to the team,
“It’s going to be a challenge for us this season, as a new team to the series and with Joel making his return to competitive action, but we’re all feeling very motivated and, with the benefit of some good winter mileage with the new car, I think we’re in good shape.
“Now we’re looking forward to getting our heads down and to starting the new season at Donington Park later this month.”
