Dundalk driver Aimee Woods is set to join the Formula Vee ranks.

She will make the move with immediate effecvt after buying a Leastone in the last week.

According to motorsport.ie, she plans an extensive test programme and at least two races this season before embarking on a full championship campaign in 2016.

The daughter of well known saloon car specialist Sean Woods, Aimee has done some Uno races and some rallysprints in the past but sees Formula Vee as a new and exciting challenge.

She first raced the single seater at the Formula Vee festival last year and has recently made the decision to buy the car she drove.

With the help of Modello Chief Instructor Ken Elliott she feels that she can make progress through the field with the ultimate aim of becoming the first woman to win a Formula Vee race.
