Red Bull Junior Team

Callan O'Keeffe takes two race wins in the Formula BMW Talent Cup in Valencia three days before his 16th birthday. The South African Red Bull Junior, runner-up in the 2011 world karting championship, is competing in this first, professional entry-level formula of motor racing and claimed all three pole positions for the races in Valencia.

In the 1st race O'Keeffe was able to put his pole to perfect use, achieving an unchallenged lights-to-flag victory after 10 laps. He also claimed Race 3 after having his perfect weekend slightly dented by 2nd in Race 2 behind Tristan Viidas from Estronia.
