On 22nd June, 2008, Scott Redding made history by becoming the youngest ever rider to win a World Championship Grand Prix, aged just 15 years and 170 days.
Not only that, but he became the first British rider to win his home Grand Prix in over 20 years. He went on to be crowned Rookie of the Year in the World 125cc Championship. Despite these incredible achievements, Scott has gained minimal publicity outside the Motorsport world.
Winning this award could help raise the profile of not only Scott, but motorcycle sport in this country as a whole, by showing the country that there is a wealth of British talent that is waiting to be showcased.
We, the undersigned, petition the BBC to award Scott Redding the title of Young Sports Personality of the Year in recognition of his achievements in the 2008 125cc World Championship.
