Ginetta Juniors prepare for Thruxton!

Ginetta-Thruxton-PreviewThe Ginetta Junior Championship looks set to be a family affair in 2010. The brother and sister Moores head the entry with a new car introduced this season.

Sarah Moore claimed last year's Ginetta Junior Championship and indeed bagged her first race win here last season in a superb drive that made Sarah the first female winner of a TOCA-support race. A second win followed a day later and her ability to run at the front and score points was crucial in taking the title. For 2010, Sarah, whose elder brother Nigel Moore is a former Ginetta Junior and G50 champion, will have a renewed threat from younger brother David. He was quick last year - and led here, briefly, but with an extra year of car racing under his belt should be a major force to be reckoned with in 2010. With no karting experience, last season was a huge test for 15-year-old David M but he will be a front-runner this year.

Sarah M, meanwhile, is the benchmark driver and as reigning champion the one everyone wants to beat. She improved as a driver as well last year and is being run, as is David, by experienced racer Mike Jordan's Eurotech Racing squad. With their ability and Jordan's guidance, this is a formidable team.

An added incentive this season is the end of season prize: a test in Andrew Jordan's Pirtek Racing BTCC Vauxhall Vectra which will allow the champion to showcase their ability. The Ginetta Junior Championship is noted for close and exciting racing and this season will be no different.

Free practice at Thruxton, Hampshire, takes place at 09.55 on Saturday 3rd April with qualifying at 11.45 and race one, over nine laps, at 17.05. Sunday's race blasts off at 13.30.
