Ginetta Juniors

The Ginetta Junior Championship is the UK’s Longest running junior series, offering the first step on the motorsport ladder for 14-17 year old racing drivers. It gives aspiring teenage drivers the experience of a lifetime, kick-starting their journey towards racing stardom.

Amongst the recent alumni are Charlie Robertson (European Le Mans Series LMP3 Champion 2015), Jamie Chadwick (British GT4 Champion 2015) and Will Palmer (BRDC Formula 4 Champion 2015) as well as rising stars Lando Norris, Dino Zamparelli, Seb Morris and Tom Ingram.

GRDC

A perfect way for amateurs to test their mettle at racing, GRDC operates as an all-inclusive Ginetta Racing Drivers’ Club package designed specifically for the first-time racing driver.

Ginetta equip GRDC drivers with all they need to get racing each other in a four round UK series in their very own, road-legal, G40 Club Car.

GRDC+

GRDC+ is a natural progression for those drivers who have recently discarded their ‘novice’ plates, often, though not exclusively, graduates from the GRDC series,

Competitors join the larger Ginetta GT5 Challenge grid for their second season in racing, picking up the pace after a year of training in the GRDC.

Featuring five rounds in British GT, GRDC+ offers drivers their first taste of international racing including a round at Spa Francorchamps.

GT5 Challenge

The Ginetta GT5 Challenge offers a unique opportunity to race in a single-make racing championship suitable for all ages and levels of race experience whilst still being a part of the prestigious British GT and Touring Car weekends.

GT4 Supercup

The Ginetta GT4 SuperCup is Ginetta’s flagship championship.

Broadcast live on ITV4, it offers unrivalled exposure for drivers, teams and sponsors thanks to its place on the BTCC support bill. As a BRDC qualifying championship, it is a stepping stone into global GT racing.

The Pro-Am grid format caters for both career drivers as well as quick gentlemen racers.

A number of Ginetta Clienté arrive and drive packages are available.
