Edward Restov Jr
Edward Restov Junior (born after 12 July 1980) is a British racing driver and team owner. Son of the Anglo-Russian racing driver and team owner Edward Restov, he has competed in the Formula 3 Rejects World Race Series in 2015, driving for his father's team in the Spa SuperPrix.
2015: F3RWRS
When it was announced that Restov Racing would enter the Spa SuperPrix, the racing community rejoiced, since one of the established names of international motorsport was joining the RWRS system. The name of the driver left the paddock dubious though, as Restov Junior was virtually unknown to the racing world, apart from his illustrious father and the fact he was young enough to take part.
The team fielded a sponsorless red livery, and Edward only qualified 50th out of 62 drivers in the Dallara-Fiat. Edward's race was uneventful as well, fighting with Richard Hershall before retiring on the tenth lap with a mechanical failure. Hershall would go on to finish 32nd.
2016: Team ownership
For the rest of the season, Restov turned to driver managing, taking Conor Dunne and Luis Pereira under his wing, while also trying to set up his own team for 2016, his father deciding to let Edward Junior take matters into his own hands.
As it turned out, his two original drivers were absent from the team, Restov instead preferring Caribbean karting champion Waisale Serevi and aristocratic rally driver Alexander Obolensky.
