R Racing have been on a record-breaking run of success in the Ginetta Junior Championship powered by Sunoco Race Fuels in recent years, and they added a new milestone to their CV in the 2026 season opener.
The first of Lewis Goff’s three victories at Donington Park was R Racing’s 100th win in Ginetta Junior competition. They become the first team to reach a century of victories in the category, achieving the feat almost seven years to the day of their Ginetta debut.
R Racing took their maiden win halfway through their first campaign in 2019, in the hands of Zak O’Sullivan at Snetterton. A total of 22 drivers have shared out the now 102 wins, with the most prolific of those being Freddie Slater (19), Josh Rowledge (11) and Rocco Coronel (11).
Under the guidance of team principals Jamie Ross and Nathan Read, R Racing have contested 194 races in total across the main Junior championship and Winter Series, winning 53% of the time – a level of success they admit they could have never dreamt of.
“It’s a special achievement for the team,” said Read. “It highlights all the hard work that’s happened over the years and continues to now. When we first set out with our racing, we didn’t expect to be getting one win, let alone 100. We’re so proud of everyone involved, and now we go for 200!”
If the Donington Park season opener is anything to go by, they show no signs of slowing down. Alongside their clean sweep of the victories, they celebrated a one-two-three result in the last race and collected 13 trophies in total across the overall and rookie podiums.
“We’re just as hungry for success as ever and this is probably the best start to a season we’ve ever had. As well as fighting for wins and titles, what’s important to us is having great depth in our team,” added Ross.
“We had all six of our drivers finish in the top ten in a couple of the races this weekend, and we feel that all round this is our strongest ever driver line-up. Everyone is capable of enjoying great results and we can’t wait for the season ahead.”
The 2026 Ginetta Junior Championship powered by Sunoco Race Fuels continues next weekend (25-26 April), with three races on the Silverstone Grand Prix circuit as part of the opening British GT Championship event of the year.
