Fifteen year old Nigel Moore has won the
Playstation Junior Ginetta championship in his first year of motor racing,
clinching it with second place in the first of three races at Brands Hatch. The Yorkshire motor racing ace had
qualified on pole position for Round 13 at the Brands Hatch Festival weekend and
settled for second.
When his
nearest rival had a clash with another driver, the title was in Nigel’s hands,
although he went into the weekend only needing fourteen more points in the
bag.
“With the Brands Hatch Junior
Festival Cup up for grabs we decided to go all out from then on, and another
second and win were good enough to take the Cup as well as the championship
title,” said Nigel, who drives the BRDC Stars of Tomorrow Scholarship car.
He combined the junior sportscar series
with a season in karting, driving a 90 mph BRM Super ICC (KZ1) kart.
Nigel will have one last weekend racing
the junior Ginetta in November, again at Brands Hatch in
Kent for the
Winter Festival, then next year will move up to race one of Ginetta’s powerful
new G50 sportscars but still hopes to take in some kart racing. Nigel
added: “It’s been fantastic winning
the championship in my first year of car racing, and I’d like to thank Richard
Dean and all the staff at Ginetta Cars, the Hepworth team, also Caroynn Hoy and
the BRDC, along with Tockwith Motorsports Centre and BRM Racing karts.”
