Joshua Anderson is a British driver in the GPVWC. He formerly drove for YTF1 in the Formula Challenge series, and also drove for RTS in the 2013 World Sport Series and Kinqu Motorsports in the 2013 World GT Series season. He also took part in the first race of the inaugral International Touring Cup season, driving for Measuric Racing as a one-off replacement for Theo van den Brink.

Formula Challenge

2013

Anderson's first (and last to date) Formula Challenge event was the 2013 Challenge French Grand Prix, driving with YTF1 in the #70 car. The race was an absolute disaster, with Anderson retiring from both races - the first retirement due to him colliding with his team-mate Mikael Tuomaala, causing both YTF1 drivers to retire from the race, and the second retirement caused by Anderson hitting a pillar in the pit lane (after going into the pit lane to serve a voluntary drive-through penalty, after hitting the race leader due to him overshooting a corner), and taking the front-right wheel off the car, thus causing his retirement from the race. Anderson later decided to withdraw from the series, mostly due to his horrific performance, giving his seat to the team's reserve driver Scott Berrisford. Despite this, Anderson has stated his intent to return to Formula Challenge in 2014, however more likely as a team manager than as a driver. He has not denied the possibility of a drive with his own team though.

World Sport Series

2013

After his failing in the Formula Challenge Series, Anderson decided to turn his hand to the World Sport series, securing a drive with RTS for the last 2 events of the season. This proved to be a good move - as Anderson finished both French races, albeit 22nd and 17th respectively. In the German races, Anderson finished an impressive 18th in the first race, but failed to finish after an engine failure in the infamous race 2 - in which he started 2nd after the grid reversal. Anderson has said that he would like to return to the World Sports Series in 2014, most likely with RTS.

World GT Series

2013

Anderson has also been part of the GPVWC World GT Series. He made his debut at Watkins Glen, stepping in for Ron Squire. Anderson eventually finished 24th after a race hampered by rain, technical issues and himself being classified twice.
