Whyteleafe teenager Gibbins powers to maiden victory at Brands Hatch

WHYTELEAFE teenager Michael Gibbins, who is already the youngest ever driver in the Sportscar 2000 series, recently became its youngest ever winner at Brands Hatch.

The 16-year-old has been...

...​racing karts since the age of eight, winning a club Honda Cadet championship three years running and finishing in the top three in the Minimax and Junior Rotax club championship series.

He moved up to car racing in 2013 as soon as he could hold a full MSA race licence and driving a Lola T590, he is the youngest driver to ever compete in the Sports 2000 series.

The recent meeting at Brands Hatch was Gibbins' fourth race of the season, following car failure at Silverstone and Oulton Park, and a second-in-class finish at Donington Park.
