Ginetta Junior Championship

The Ginetta Junior championship was introduced in 2003 for racers aged 14 – 17 years old as a natural progression route from kart racing.

The single-make championship has previously used the popular G20 coupe car. However, for 2010 the championship is introducing the brand new Ginetta G40. The G40 is a rear wheel drive, lightweight sportscar that teaches young racers the fundamental skills of car racing.

The Championship supports the British Touring Car Championship placing it on the biggest stage possible in the UK. Large crowds provide an electric atmosphere and live TV coverage on ITV4 with a highlights programme is part and parcel of the media support.






Over a typical weekend, there are 3 free practice sessions prior to the qualifying. A 15 minute qualifying session determines grid positions for the weekend’s two 15-minute races. A driver’s fastest lap in this time is taken into account for race one’s grid, whilst their second fastest lap relates to their starting position for race two.

Governed by rules and regulations including sealed engines, gearboxes and differentials, any major component cannot be modified on the car. This prevents expensive research and development; ensuring all cars are identical to provide close, thrilling racing between evenly-matched drivers.
