POOLE racing car driver Reza Seewooruthun has become the first driver to complete a clean sweep by leading every lap of the weekend at the Ginetta Junior Championship.

Seewooruthun stunned the crowds at Brands Hatch by leading every lap of each of the three races, converting two pole positions from qualifying into race wins before again leading the way in the third and final race.

The R Racing speedster secured the fastest lap over the weekend that also saw him celebrate his 17th birthday.

Reza, a former English Kart Champion, is in his first year of car racing and will be completing his first full season at the final round in Donnington Park at the end of October.

His efforts at Brands Hatch mean he has a strong chance of finishing in the top three of the drivers’ championship – alongside teammates Freddie Slater and Mikey Porter.

They are hoping for an R Racing 1-2-3 finish in the championship, to accompany their team’s win for the season.

In the ten years since the formation of the championship no driver has won all three races over a weekend, achieving the clean sweep, and led every lap of every race.

Reza said: “It was a dream birthday weekend. I had been clocking fast times in qualifying and the car was good – but I never thought I’d top the podium after all three races.

“I was under huge pressure from other drivers but managed to stay ahead. The team and the tactics were superb.

“To achieve the fastest lap and take the two poles available really made it a weekend to remember.

“I am now focusing on the last races at Donnington Park and want to build on what I achieved at Brands Hatch.

“With R Racing already having won the team title I want to help make it a one-two-three for the team as well.”

The championships comprise 21 races over seven meetings at all the major circuits in the country.

Reza is backed by a number of local businesses including Wyatt Homes, Charles Trent Ltd, Anders Roberts Cheer Architecture, Luxury Care, Abbey Estates, DWP Housing Partnership and SC&W Law.

Seewooruthun began karting aged 13 and he immediately impressed Poole-based team BKC Racing, the team he later went on to win the English Karting Championship title with.

Reza moves into Formula 4 next season and is aiming to follow in the footsteps of Formula 1 driver Lando Norris who also started in the Ginetta Junior Championships.
