Jackson for Revival Fjunior thrash
GOODWOOD REVIVAL Historic Sports Car Club Formula Ford 1600 title hopeful Cameron Jackson will race a Brabham Formula Junior at the Goodwood Revival next month.
Jackson, who has mostly raced a Lola T200 this year in Historic Formula Ford, will take part in the Chichester Trophy for Formula Junior cars, driving a 1962 Brabham BT2 in which he has competed over the past few years.
“It’s literally the reason I bought the car,” said Jackson. “Events like the Silverstone Classic and Goodwood – that’s what it’s all about for me.”
“[The Chichester Cup] is on a three-year rotation for all the classes to be covered. It doesn’t come round every year, so it’s quite special.”
One potential distraction concerns Jackson – his wife Emily is due to give birth 10 days after the Revival weekend.
“I’ve got my brother [Dominik, who has shared cars with Cameron and competed regularly before] lined up in the background to take over if I have to skidaddle from the circuit very rapidly because Em’s gone into labour,” he said.
Jackson is just five points off the Historic Formula Ford title lead with three events to go (see points table left). Jackson is challenging current leader and Merlyn Mk20 driver Ben Mitchell for the honours, while reigning champion Richard Tarling is still in contention, but has taken his four dropped scores with non-entries already.
The series is still to visit Oulton
Park this weekend, Brands Hatch
Indy in October and the HSCC finals at Silverstone in October.
