Ginetta Junior Championship
The Ginetta Junior Championship is a British one-make junior motor racing championship organised around Ginetta sports cars. It is designed as an entry-level car racing series for young drivers moving from karting into circuit racing, with eligibility centred on drivers aged 14 to 17. From the 2010 season, the championship has used the Ginetta G40, having previously used the Ginetta G20. In 2026, SRO Motorsports Group took over operational management of the series.
The championship has acted as a development category for drivers who later progressed into touring cars, GT racing, single-seaters and international motorsport. Alumni include Lando Norris, Tom Ingram, Jamie Chadwick, Tom Gamble, Dan Harper, Luke Browning and Freddie Slater.
The championship is a one-make series, with drivers competing in Ginetta-built junior racing cars. Race meetings usually consist of multiple races across a race weekend. The 2025 sporting regulations state that each driver's fastest qualifying lap determines the grid for race one, while the second-fastest qualifying lap determines the grid for race two. Where a third race is scheduled, the grid is formed from the finishing order of race two.
The championship originally used the Ginetta G20, before switching to the Ginetta G40 from the 2010 season. The G40 Junior uses a sealed 1.8-litre Ford Zetec engine, a sealed Quaife six-speed sequential gearbox, a T45 tubular chassis and integral safety cage built to FIA standards, and controlled Pirelli road tyres.
The championship began in 2005 and became one of Ginetta's main junior racing categories in the United Kingdom. The series initially used the Ginetta G20 before the Ginetta G40 was introduced for the 2010 season. Over time, the championship became established as a pathway for drivers graduating from karting into circuit racing.
The 2025 season was the championship's 20th anniversary season, during which the series reached its 500th race.
In 2026, operational management of the championship moved to SRO Motorsports Group, as part of a wider change to Ginetta's UK one-make racing structure.
The Ginetta Junior Scholarship is an annual selection process associated with the championship. The competition assesses young drivers across areas including on-track driving, media and communication skills, and fitness. The winner receives support towards a season in the Ginetta Junior Championship, including championship entry, use of a G40 Junior Evo, insurance, tyres, fuel and professional car preparation.
