Scott Malvern, born 23rd February 1989, is a British Racing Driver. In 2008, after several years of karting success, lack of funding caused Malvern to turn his hand to working as a mechanic and race engineer for the multiple British Formula Ford team Jamun Racing Services. Malvern had hoped to graduate to a race seat with the team for 2009 but this proved impossible when he was unable to raise the necassary funding.

Malvern was set to continue as a mechanic when he was given an opportunity to test an FF1600 (Kent)car for Cliff Dempsey Racing. Dempsey was impressed enough to offer Malvern a seat in his team to contest the 2009 Webcon National FF1600 Championship. Malvern not only won the National Championship but also the BRSCC Midlands & South Championship and the Sir Jackie Stewart Trophy. He finished 2nd on the road at the Brands Hatch (Kent) Formula Ford Festival but was later excluded for a minor technical infringement.

Malvern remained with Cliff Dempsey Racing for 2010 when they decided to contest the MSA British Formula Ford (Duratec)Championship. The team hadn't raced in the championship since 2006 when Dempsey's own son Peter Dempsey finished third in the championship.

Using the little fancied British built Ray chassis against the dominant French bulit Mygale, Malvern led the championship for most of the season with a string of consistently good results. His main competition was Australian driver Scott Pye racing for his former employers and champions since 2005, Jamun racing Services.

Malvern finished the season top of the points table, having scored points in all 25 championship rounds, but lost out on the title to Scott Pye on the dropped scores rule.
