Happy times for Matthew Round-Garrido as he joins Jay Howard Driver Development in USF2000.

Round-Garrido had a good 2018 as he won the Northern Irish Formula Ford 1600. The young British driver also finished third in the British Formula Ford Championship.

Race abroad

“I’m really excited that I’ll be racing in the Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship with JHDD this season. It’s been a target of mine to race abroad for a number of years now and with the Road to Indy scholarship system they’ve got here, there’s no better place to be racing than America right now,” explained Matthew Round-Garrido in a press release.

A threat

“Matthew will be a great addition to our program and should be an instant threat in the 2019 championship,” said multi-time Indianapolis 500 starter and Team Owner, Jay Howard. “He brings a load of experience to the team and knows how to win.”
