R Racing have continued their historic run of success in the Ginetta Junior Championship powered by Sunoco Race Fuels this year, securing their fourth consecutive clean sweep of the teams’, overall drivers’ and rookie drivers’ titles.
The Norfolk-based squad kicked off the 2026 campaign with their landmark 100th Ginetta Junior victory on the opening weekend at Donington Park, a moment which set the tone for another year of relentless podium success for the squad.
It proved to be the team’s best ever season for accumulating podium finishes, with 45 overall top three results split across six drivers. That broke their own existing record for the most podiums secured by a team in a single Ginetta Junior Championship season.
In the process, R Racing overtook Elite Motorsport to become the team with the most podiums ever in Ginetta Junior racing, taking their tally up to 280. That means they currently hold the records for the most race wins, podium finishes and title victories in the category.
Arguably their most impressive performance came at Snetterton, as they became the first team ever to lockout the top six places in a single race. The strength in depth of their driver line-up this year was further proven by those six drivers all finishing within the top ten of the championship standings.
Lewis Goff became the team’s sixth consecutive overall drivers’ champion, following in the footsteps of Aston Millar, Josh Rowledge, Freddie Slater, Ethan Jeff-Hall and Rocco Coronel, while their teams’ title success is their sixth in the last seven seasons.
The team will now be looking towards the Winter Series later this month (24/25 October), with the ambition of completing their second consecutive title grand slam and further cement their position as the most decorated team in Ginetta Junior history.
“We’re incredibly happy with how this season has gone,” commented team principal Jamie Ross. “To start with our 100th race victory as part of a hat-trick of wins on the opening weekend, that really set the tone for the season and we kept pushing for top results in every single race.
“A lot of hard work goes in behind the scenes to keep the team running every year and it’s a real team effort. There is a winning mentality that runs through the whole team, everyone is invested in enjoying as much success as possible.
“This year has been really competitive all round, with some very good kids in the championship. It might look easy to some, but a lot of different teams and drivers have been pushing us hard and we’ve had to keep raising our game to ensure we stayed on top.
“We’re immensely proud of the strength in depth within our team. Six pole positions out of nine, 17 wins, 45 podium finishes and six drivers in the top ten of the championship. They’re numbers you can only dream of at the start of a season.
“The top six lockout at Snetterton was obviously a highlight too. It shows what we can do as a team, how we can develop multiple drivers at the same time and turn them into competitive talents. That’s down to the skill and experience of everyone in the team and I couldn’t be prouder of everyone.”
