2008 Ginetta Junior Championship - Champion

2008 saw a 15 year old Zamparelli take 10 wins, 15 podiums, 8 pole positions and 9 fastest laps in 24 races in the Ginetta Junior Championship. This allowed him to take the championship crown and with it, he was selected to become a 'BRDC: British Racing Drivers' Club 'Rising Star'. He also won the Peter Collins' Memorial Challenge Trophy for the best newcomer to car racing.

"My career started in the Ginetta Junior Championship at the age of 15 in 2008. I managed to win the championship at my first full attempt. This would raise my profile and allow me to move into single seaters the following year at 16 years of age."

"It was a great year for me as it put my profile on the map and people knew my name. It was the first year that the Ginetta Junior's supported to the BTCC events, so there were 20,000+ people watching us race. It was amazing to start my career like this!"
