Victorious Voisin wins on return to Donington Park
Porsche Carwow Carrera Cup GB 2026 / 2027 Junior, Callum Voisin (Rosland Gold by Century Motorsport) from Bath delivered a perfect weekend at Donington Park, with two pole positions, two wins, and two fastest laps. Taking to the longer Grand Prix circuit on this occasion, Voisin was able to further extend his championship advantage over William Jenkins (Team Parker Racing) from Stafford, who finished second overall in both races.
Local driver Stephen Jelley (XQS Team Parker Racing) from nearby Leicester took Pro-Am glory in the weekend’s opening encounter. And Jacob Tofts (Duckhams Yuasa Racing by Graves Motorsport) from Essex drove a determined race to clinch category victory in Round 10. In the Masters category there were two wins for Henry Dawes (Century Motorsport) from Glasgow, as he returned to the championship for the first time since the opening weekend of 2026.
Voisin is the top Pro
The first 15-minute qualifying session was interrupted by a red flag period, but Voisin set the fastest lap in the dying moments of the session, and he would start the weekend’s opening race alongside Jenkins. Voisin led at the start of the first race in dry and sunny conditions, with Sid Smith (Graves Motorsport) from Essex overtaking Jenkins for second at the first corner. Jack Sherwood (Team Parker Racing) from Leicestershire was forced onto the grass on the second lap while attempting to pass Master’s driver, Michael Keohane (Century Motorsport) from County Cork, Ireland. Sherwood rejoined in eighth place, and he soon attacked Archie Clark (XQS Team Parker Racing) from Leicestershire, as Clark in turn pressured Max Coates (Graves Motorsport) from North Yorkshire.
Voisin developed what seemed to be an unassailable lead, while Jenkins drew closer to Smith. In the closing stages of the race, Coates was involved in an incident with Keohane – he was forced off the circuit and into a spin at the Melbourne Hairpin, which led to his retirement. There was further drama on lap 16 as Jenkins found a way by Smith for second spot. And Smith then came under attack from Sherwood, who got to the inside at Coppice, completing the move for third in the run to the Fogarty Esses. Voisin took the chequered flag for the sixth win of his Porsche racing career, and he was joined on the overall podium by Jenkins and Sherwood.
Voisin took pole position for the weekend’s second race, with the fastest lap of Saturday – 1:28.891, and Jenkins would line-up alongside him once more. The conditions were perfect for Sunday afternoon’s race, and Voisin led Jenkins again as they navigated Redgate for the first time, with Coates and Smith giving chase. On lap four, Sherwood dived to the inside of Smith to snatch fourth, and Isaac Phelps (Rosland Gold by Century Motorsport) from Hertfordshire looked to replicate the move. After the race was interrupted by a Safety Car period, Sherwood advanced to third at Redgate, however, he came under fire from Phelps, who got ahead at the hairpin as Coates slipped back.
In the final five minutes of racing, Phelps closed on Jenkins for second and, following contact, the latter ran wide at the last corner allowing Phelps to capitalise and secure the place. Meanwhile, Smith got back ahead of Sherwood for fourth. At the flag, Voisin took his second win of the weekend, with Phelps crossing the line in second and Jenkins completing the overall podium picture. However, following the race, for making contact with Jenkins, Phelps was demoted one position, promoting Jenkins to second and relegating Phelps to third overall in the revised results.
Jelley and Tofts share Pro-Am glory
Tofts did not make it out in the first qualifying session due to a technical issue, while Jelley set the Pro-Am pace. Jelley would start the first race at Donington Park in ninth overall, with the rest of the Pro-Am challengers behind. Jelley led Oliver Jackson (JTR) from Surrey and Oliver Meadows (Team Parker Racing) from Warwickshire at the start of the weekend’s opening race, but Jonathan Moore (JTR) from South Yorkshire soon grabbed third from Meadows. Having started in last place on the grid, a recovering Tofts took third in the category battle, before putting pressure on Jackson for second, though he could not advance further. Jelley, Jackson and Tofts formed the first Pro-Am podium at Donington Park.
Jelley was the quickest Pro-Am category racer in Saturday’s second qualifying session, with rival Jackson qualifying just behind. Jackson got ahead of Jelley at the start of Round 10, with Tofts running third in the category. Following the Safety Car period, Moore ended his race in the gravel trap at Redgate, while Jackson, Jelley and Tofts ran nose-to-tail in their fight for category glory. In the final minutes of racing, Tofts passed Jackson at Redgate, and on the final lap he closed on category leader, Jackson.
Completing his recovery drive, Tofts used a slowing Coates to his advantage on the final approach to Goddards. As Jackson was delayed by Coates on the inside line, Tofts drove to the outside. He overtook the impeded Jackson, and then he passed Coates in the run to the checkered flag, clinching his second Pro-Am category win of the season in style. Tofts was joined on the Pro-Am podium by Jackson and Jelley.
Returnee Dawes takes Masters
Keohane emerged ahead of his rivals in qualifying and would start the first race at Donington Park from fourth overall – top in the Masters category. Returnee Dawes was alongside in fifth on the grid.
Keohane led Dawes and Carl Cavers (Century Motorsport) from Nottingham at the start of Sunday’s first race, but the category leader was soon involved in an incident with Sherwood which briefly delayed his progress. Keohane then received a five-second time penalty for making a False Start, and then found himself off the circuit at the Melbourne Hairpin following an incident with Coates. This promoted Dawes to the lead in Masters. After making a pit stop, Keohane rejoined the race, but Dawes took the category win, with Cavers finishing in second, and Keohane in third. Following the race, Keohane was disqualified for his incident with Coates.
Dawes topped the Masters category drivers in the second qualifying session at Donington Park, and he would start sixth overall for Round 10. Dawes led Keohane and Cavers at the start of the weekend’s second race. On lap five, Keohane made contact with Tofts which sent him into the barriers at Goddards, ending his race early and scrambling the Safety Car. Dawes was able to maintain his advantage over Cavers following the restart, driving to a second category win.
