Test day in the bag ✅

Yesterday Elijah Hazelwood got valuable seat time in the Ginetta Junior, working with his coaches and putting all the preparation into practice.
Lots learned, and a great day of development behind the wheel.

“without a doubt, the best experience of my racing career so far. I learned loads and felt more comfortable in the car each time I went out. Very grateful to everyone making this happen” – Elijah

Just 3 days to go… 👀🏁 Ginetta Cars

Preparation starts long before you get on track 🏁

With the Ginetta Junior Scholarship just five days away, preparation is firmly in focus.

Elijah Hazelwood has been putting in the work away from the circuit too. From fitness and reaction training to time on the simulator. All while keeping up with his school work.

For us, that’s what this journey is about: putting the work in, listening, learning and arriving at the Scholarship as prepared as possible.

We’re proud to be supporting Elijah as he takes this next step, and we’re looking forward to seeing all that preparation come together.

Talent gets you noticed. Preparation gives you your best shot.

5 days to go. 🏁

The Road to the Scholarship starts here 🏁
Last year, Elijah Hazelwood won the National Kart Championship in his Rookie season. Now he’s ready for the next big step: moving from karting into cars.
From 5 to 7 October, he takes part in the Ginetta Junior Scholarship, one of the most respected young driver programmes in UK motorsport. For a young driver making the jump into cars, the scholarship is a genuine game changer, opening up a route into racing that would otherwise be very hard to reach.
That’s why it’s the focus of everything right now. Together with Simon Munday , we’re proud to be supporting Elijah to give him the very best chance of winning it.
On Saturday we joined Elijah and his family at Brands Hatch to watch the series he’s hoping to join next season. Follow along as we share his journey!

We’ve made a little more room… 👀

Our Salisbury office has officially got bigger!

We’ve expanded into the office next door, giving the Casterbridge team some much-needed extra space and of course, we couldn’t move in without adding a few Casterbridge touches.

With new branding and frosted windows now in place, the expanded space is starting to feel very much like home.

The next milestone for Casterbridge, and an exciting sign of how far we’ve come.

Here’s a look at the new space 👇.
