- Thomas Randle will join the Evans Motorsport Formula Ford program for 2013. The highly successful karter will be part of the team's "Young Guns", joing Chelsea Angelo and Liam McAdam. "We've been watching his progress pretty closely and we've been talking for a while so it's great to have Thomas on-board for 2013" said team boss, Josh Evans. "He had a test with us last month and he has great feel for the car. We're looking forward to working with him next year." Randle will drive a new Mygale chassis in the Victorian FF series.
