Will Palmer, the 2015 BRDC Formula 4 Champion and McLaren Autosport BRDC Award winner, is a young, up-and-coming British driver competing with R-ace GP in Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 for the 2017 season.

Will enjoyed a promising 2016 season as he raced in both the Eurocup and Northern European Cup Formula Renault championships with R-ace GP. He scored multiple podium finishes in both categories before scoring his maiden victory on the continent at Estoril, at the season-ending Eurocup meeting in Portugal.

Prior to that, Will claimed the 2015 BRDC Formula 4 Championship in stunning style, winning exactly half the races across the year with 12 victories. He also secured 10 pole positions and 15 fastest laps, in addition to three other podium finishes, as he enjoyed a truly dominant championship-winning season. That led to him being nominated for the prestigious McLaren Autosport Award and after a number of on and off-track assessments, Will was named as the winner at the Autosport Awards in London and received the prize of £100,000 cash and a test in a McLaren Grand Prix car.

Will claimed the BRDC F4 Winter Championship title in 2014, taking four wins from the eight races. This success followed off the back of a promising season in the main championship, where he took two wins and finished sixth overall in the standings. He was in contention for the title up until the very last weekend of the year.

Palmer competed in the F4 Winter Championship in 2013, securing a maiden single seater podium at Snetterton before claiming his first win in the series at Brands Hatch. Prior to this, Will had finished third overall in the Ginetta Junior Championship, with a maiden car racing win in treacherous conditions at Rockingham and nine further podiums in his second full season of racing.

He enjoyed a promising campaign in 2012 with his highlights being a pair of second place qualifying positions at Silverstone and a battling drive from seventh to fourth at a damp Thruxton. He ended the year 12th overall in the drivers' standings, despite not contesting all rounds, with a total of 11 top 10 finishes. That year, the Cranleigh schoolboy also contested the championship's winter series where he scored consistent results, including his first podium at Rockingham to end third overall.

Will made his car racing debut in 2011 competing in selected rounds of the Ginetta Junior Championship with Hillspeed. After a solid debut at Snetterton, he made two further appearances that season at Silverstone and Brands Hatch, the latter where he attained a best of eighth. He also competed in the championship's winter series at Snetteton where he enjoyed a best finish of sixth.

Will lives in Southwater, West Sussex, and is the younger son of former Formula One driver Jonathan Palmer and brother of Renault Sport F1 driver Jolyon Palmer.
