Realistically, if I can get up towards the podium then it would be brilliant, but it\u2019s all about learning and gaining as much experience as I can.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>EXCELR8 boss Justina Williams tipped the youngster to impress.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Considering he is still only 16, Maximus has been hugely impressive in the Coopers this season and we\u2019re delighted to now give him the chance to make his debut in the JCWs this weekend,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Although it\u2019s a big step up, there is no doubt that he has the talent behind the wheel and I\u2019m excited to see how he performs.&#8221;[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; background_enable_image=&#8221;off&#8221; background_size=&#8221;contain&#8221; background_position=&#8221;center_left&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.minichallenge.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/4-1.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.2&#8243; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.minichallenge.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/2-1.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.2&#8243; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.minichallenge.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/3-1.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.2&#8243; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Max Hall will make his debut in the JCW class of the Vertu Motors MINI CHALLENGE this weekend at Brands Hatch after inking a deal with EXCELR8 Motorsport.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":23795,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1462,1465],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-23788","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-jcw"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.0 -
