Michael Johnston hopes to continue Hexagon partnership as offers come in for 2021 Ginetta campaign

Edinburgh racer Michael Johnston signed off his Ginetta GRDC Championship for the year with two fifth-placed finishes in the season finale at Snetterton.

Michael Johnston has hailed the impact of his sponsor, Hexagon Cards.

The 27-year-old, who is continuing to live his dream as a driver following sponsorship help from Hexagon Cards, was only making his second appearance on the circuit, but despite a more experienced field and tricky track condition, Johnston put in a strong performance in front of his watching family.

“I'm delighted with those results as the conditions were extremely challenging with storm Alex threatening, compounded by a greasy track that made driving the rear-wheel drive Ginetta's even more difficult,” said Johnston. “I'm especially delighted that I could secure strong results for my sponsor - Hexagon Cards.

"I'm really pleased with the results as I hadn't driven the car since the season opener. The cars are not easy to drive in the dry, never mind the wet, so to actually finish and avoid any damage was a real positive.

"Above all, I was delighted to be at Snetterton at all. It was all down to my partnership with Hexagon Cards and I hope that they enjoyed seeing the Hexagon Ginetta running at the front, which is fantastic exposure for their UK launch this month.”

Johnston has now been offered the chance to drive for several leading teams in the 2021 campaign, with two of the rounds to be screen live on ITV2. Johnston hopes to continue his partnership with Hexagon, who are launching pre-paid cards into the UK market this month, as well as hoping to attract any other partners.
