EDGE Sporting Management driver Lewis Goff delivered another commanding performance in Round Two of the 2026 Ginetta Junior Championship, securing two victories and a second-place finish at Silverstone to further extend his championship lead.
Competing on the full Grand Prix layout in support of the prestigious British GT Silverstone 500 event, Goff arrived at the Northamptonshire venue full of confidence following a clean sweep of victories at the season opener at Donington Park.
Strong Foundations in Testing and Qualifying
Pre-event testing underlined Goff’s form, with the R Racing driver showing excellent pace – particularly in clean air – firmly establishing himself as a leading contender for the weekend.
Qualifying proved to be a tightly contested session, with Goff securing P5 on the grid. While not fully representative of his outright pace, it positioned him well to capitalise on his strong race speed.
Race 1: Clinical Drive to Victory
From fifth on the grid, Goff wasted no time in moving forward, executing a decisive opening phase to take the lead. A sustained and high-quality battle with Harry Bartle followed, showcasing disciplined yet aggressive race craft from both drivers.
Maintaining composure under pressure, Goff secured victory in Race 1 – his fourth consecutive win of the season.
Race 2: Hard-Fought Recovery to P2
Race 2 delivered one of the most competitive contests of the weekend, with a tightly packed lead group of four to five cars engaged in continuous position changes, amplified by the powerful slipstream effect around the Silverstone GP circuit.
Goff featured prominently throughout, leading at various stages before running wide at Club and briefly dropping to P6 after a trip through the gravel. Demonstrating resilience and race craft, he recovered rapidly to re-join the lead battle.
On the final lap, a late move from Bartle at Brooklands secured the win, with Goff finishing a close P2 after an intense and dynamic race.
Race 3: Composed Victory Under Pressure
The final race of the weekend highlighted Goff’s maturity and race management. In another closely contested encounter, he remained composed while others around him engaged in aggressive battles for position.
Avoiding unnecessary risk while maintaining strong pace, Goff executed a controlled drive to claim victory – his fifth win from six races – further reinforcing his status as the championship leader.
Championship Momentum Building
With two victories and a second-place finish from the weekend, Goff leaves Silverstone with a commanding advantage in the championship standings. His consistency, race craft, and ability to deliver under pressure mark a near-flawless start to the 2026 season.
Following the event, Goff expressed his satisfaction with the weekend, highlighting the competitiveness and fairness of the racing. He also extended his thanks to R Racing and EDGE Sporting Management for their continued support.
With strong momentum established, Goff now looks ahead to the upcoming rounds aiming to maintain his championship lead and continue his impressive run of form.
