Joel Pearson 2004-2024

OBITUARY

Tributes have been paid to former British Formula 4 and Ginetta Junior racer Joel Pearson, who died last week after a courageous three-year battle with cancer. He was just 19 years old.

Pearson first made the switch from karts to cars partway through 2018 before contesting two full Ginetta Junior campaigns, finishing eighth in 2020 after taking two podiums.
