A CAMS Ambassador, Ricciardo gave the organisation his seal of approval for the CAMS Jayco Australian Formula 4 Championship starting in 2015. Ricciardo personally signed the car that features in the new open wheel development pathway that will create Australian motor sport history when it begins in Townsville, Queensland in July.

Ricciardo stated he was pleased with the look of the new open wheel racing machine and what the CAMS Jayco Australian Formula 4 Championship brings to Australia and young aspiring drivers.

“It looks good. Things are going in the right direction with wings and slicks. It’s obviously what’s going towards what’s happening in Europe. I think for kids coming out of karts it’s a really good category,” Ricciardo said.

“It’s not too big and overwhelming. A kid can easily jump in it and have some fun straight away.”
