MIKE CONWAY

'Mike Conway' (born 19 August 1983, in Bromley, Kent, England) is a British racing driver, who currently resides in Sevenoaks, Kent. He attended Sevenoaks Prep School from 1986 to 1996.
Like many racing drivers, he started karting at the age of 8 at Rye House in Hertfordshire. After that, he went on to be the Formula A British Karting Champion, race in Formula Ford with Van Diemen, become the Formula Renault UK Champion in 2004 and then into the British F3 International Series in 2005, with the same Fortec Motorsport team that he had been with in FRenault UK.
In British F3, he was the highest placed rookie and finished 3rd behind Alvaro Parente and Charlie Kimball, as well as managing 13th in the BP Ultimate Masters at Zandvoort, having started 16th, while at the Macau Grand Prix, Conway ended up an undoubtedly impressive fourth in both the qualifying and the qualifying race around the famous Circuito da Guia, before a problematic Grand Prix saw him finish 14th.
Following that success he was signed by 2MB Sports Management run by former Grand Prix drivers Martin Brundle and Mark Blundell, and signed for the Räikkönen Robertson Racing team, owned by then McLaren driver Kimi Räikkönen and his race-manager Steve Robertson. In the 2006 season, Mike dominated the British F3 International Series, and clinched the title with three races remaining, as well as winning Race Two of the prestigious Grand Prix de Pau, in France, a round of the British F3 International Series for 2006. While at the Macau Grand Prix, after qualifying 11th, he finished 7th in the qualifying race, before becoming the first British driver to win the Grand Prix since Darren Manning in 1999.
He also made his GP2 debut at Silverstone in June 2006, when he replaced the injured Olivier Pla in the first DPR Direxiv car. Having stalled at the start of Race One, he battled home to a very respectable 11th place, and in Race Two, he finished 11th again.
Conway also won the National Racing Driver of the Year Award at the 2006 McLaren Autosport Awards.
He then signed up to drive a full season for Super Nova Racing in the 2007 GP2 Series, and has also signed as a test driver with the Honda Racing F1 Team, and is expected to be given a test in their new RA107 car later this year.
