Posted on 10. Jan, 2012 by admin

‘Raring to go’ was how 17 year-old Jake Hill described his feelings before taking the wheel of Tollbar Racing’s Ginetta Junior in the high-profile Live Action Arena this coming Thursday and Friday (12th & 13th Jan) as part of a Ginetta Junior display.

As always Ginetta Cars will have a strong presence at the world’s most significant motorsport show, and Jake will drive a Ginetta G40 Junior on the ‘Trade’ days whilst 2011 Junior driver Will Foster will take over driving duties over the weekend.

Happy New Year and Thank You!

At 2011’s final BTCC meeting, held at ‘the home of British Motorsport’ the legendary Silverstone Circuit, 17 year-old Goudhurst racing driver Jake Hill ended the year in style by taking two superb victories in the Michelin Ginetta GT Supercup’s G50 class.

Having set the fastest time in Friday morning practice, Hill was embroiled in a fierce battle for pole position, the top eight drivers covered by a scant 0.19 seconds, with Hill lining up 4th in the Tollbar Racing-prepared machine.
