Sixteen-year-old makes UK motorsport history

Sixteen-year-old Jenson O’Neill, who is based in Northampton, has just made UK motorsport history this past weekend.

Competing in the TCR UK Championship at Brands Hatch, Jenson became the youngest driver ever to win a TCR UK race, as well as the youngest winner of a Touring Car race in the UK.

What makes this achievement even more remarkable is that this was his very first race weekend in a brand new car, with only minimal testing beforehand. And marks the start of his first full season in senior racing

This milestone has been recognised by TCR UK, highlighting Jenson as a record-breaking young talent and an exciting prospect in British motorsport.
