Jack Hawksworth is closing in on his first win in the Formula Renault 2.0 UK Championship after clinching a runners-up spot in the last round at Donnington Park.
The Cullingworth racer set a new lap record on the way to finishing second, where he was moved up to following his fourth-placed finish when two drivers ahead of him were disqualified.
The 20-year-old is now just 20 points off the top of the leaderboard, and he said he was pleased with the improvements he has made following his previous outing at Brands Hatch.
“At Donington, we were so much better than at Brands Hatch and genuinely in the ballpark, but I really want to start winning races now – and I’m pretty confident we can do that in the next two rounds.”
