Browning’s predecessors include 2009 FIA Formula 1® world champion Jenson Button, three-time Indianapolis 500 winner Dario Franchitti, and Le Mans 24 Hours class winner , as well as current F1® drivers, George Russell and Lando Norris.

To win the Award, Browning was up against other worthy finalists including: triple W-Series champion Jamie Chadwick (24), Ollie Bearman (17) who was third in the FIA Formula 3 Championship and the 2022 Indy Pro 2000 champion Louis Foster (19).

All four drivers went through a two-day competition on Silverstone’s Grand Prix circuit in four 425bhp MotorSport Vision F2 cars, a Beechdean AMR Aston Martin Vantage GT3 and a United Autosport Ligier JS P320 LMP3 prototype.

In addition, finalists were subjected to intensive fitness test with Athletic Thinking and an in-depth simulator assessment with the Formula 1® world championship-winning Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1® Team, prior to their on-track examination.

“This was such an awesome experience, it feels so good to be the winner,” said Browning, who was the only driver among this year’s finalists to be competing for the Award for the first time.
“It’s incredible to be a part of such an amazing award with such an illustrious list of former winners. It feels pretty special to now have my name among them. Words can’t describe how grateful I am to all the people that have helped me to get here. It’s unbelievable to think that a year from now I will be testing an Aston Martin Formula 1® car.”
