More success for Voisin family
Last month it was Bailey Voisin who was a winner in his first senior car race in European GT4. Now it was the turn of his younger brother Callum to be victorious in his maiden car racing weekend in Ginetta Junior.
The younger Voisin threatened to win a frenetic opening Thruxton race, challenging R Racing team-mate Josh Miller out of Church on the final lap but ran out of room to make the move and fell to fifth, admitting he was a “bit too eager”.
There were no such troubles in the second encounter. After a slow start, Voisin hit the front by passing Aston Millar out of Church on lap six of nine, then resisted a gaggle of cars to the flag. A delighted Voisin did not expect to win on his first weekend in the category and said his brother – third in last year’s standings – “helped me a lot with little tips”.
Earlier, Millar and Seb Hopkins had battled initially in race one but it was
Millar who grabbed the advantage until a caution period. Star 2020 rookie Tom Edgar pounced on the restart out of Church before it was then Miller’s turn to lead.
He just stayed ahead until the final tour when his stern defence let Edgar through to win and Hopkins, being coached by Porsche ace Harry King, was promoted to second after Miller cut the chicane.
