O’Donovan, who has been the designated male reserve driver for the series, expressed his excitement about racing for Legacy Motor Club and is eager to showcase his skills on the track in Scotland. His teammate at Legacy Motor Club, Gray Leadbetter, is also looking forward to competing in the Hydro X Prix alongside O’Donovan to build on the team’s potential shown in Saudi Arabia.
