The following season, Voisin returned to theGinetta Juniorseries, this time driving for R Racing.[4]The start of the campaign brought immediate success, with Voisin winning the season opener inDoningtonand taking a pair of victories, as well as a podium, during round two atBrands Hatch.[5][6]More wins atKnockhillandThruxtonelevated Voisin into the title battle, before he claimed another double, this time atSilverstone.[7][8]Despite a triple of podiums at the penultimate round, Voisin would miss out on the title atBrands Hatch,ending up third, a mere twelve points behind championship winnerTom Lebbon.[9]
