Team Guyson
Guyson International's Jimmy Thomson has previously participated in the Ginetta G40 Cup series but all that is on hold for the present due to the pandemic.
Jimmy, the eldest son of the current Managing Director, works at Guyson as the Customer Service Manager. The company is already a well-known name in motorsport, having sponsored the British Hillclimb championship through the seventies and eighties, with Jimmy’s father crowned the British Hillclimb champion in 1981 and sports 2000 champion in 1984. Jimmy’s car has run as number 38 in a nod to the year the business was founded.
The G40 Cup series is aimed at drivers who have recently shed their novice crosses. Playing host to the road-legal Ginetta G40 Cup car, competitors also join the larger Ginetta GT5 Challenge grid at Silverstone, picking up the pace as they develop their competitive abilities.
