Tin Top correction

Gideon September has been confirmed as the winner of the T1 class in the British Automobile Racing Club’s Tin Top championship. He took a 13th and an 11th place finish at Brands Hatch on November 4/5, and was driving a Mitsubishi Mirage, not a Ford Puma as listed in the results in the November 8 issue of MN.

Ginetta Junior rookie champion Kiern Jewiss heads the entry for the Winter Series at Brands Hatch this weekend, but top team HHC Motorsport will be absent.

Douglas Motorsport racer Jewiss, 15, is the highest-placed driver from the main championship to return in the Winter Series after taking fourth in the standings.

“I think he will be pretty strong and should be at the front,” said team boss Wayne Douglas. “I don’t think there’s any pressure on him though – he’s only won one race before – but it would be a nice way for him to finish [in Junior] with a win.”

Jewiss will not face opposition from any drivers from HHC, however, with one of the most successful teams in the category’s history deciding to skip the Winter Series.

“We’ve elected not to do it,” said HHC chief Charlie Kemp. “We’ve got quite bit on at the moment with GT testing so we decided not to do the Winter Series this year.”

With HHC absent, Elite Motorsport has a massive eight-car entry headed up by former JHR Developments and HHC driver Adam Smalley.

“The eight drivers is with turning a few away too,” said Elite boss Eddie Ives. “Adam is leading our challenge and he’s one of five we’ve got signed up for next year. We’ve done three or four days testing with Adam over the last few weeks and he has exceeded expectations – I think he will be really quick.”

Total Control Racing also returns to Ginetta Junior after a season out, running ex-douglas driver Tom Canning and rookies Conner David and Sam Neary.
