Irish youngster Jason Smyth not only won the Formula Ford Festival last weekend, but he also hoisted himself to second in the Ryan Motorsport Insurance Autosport National Rankings.
Smyth has had a super-successful season in Formula Ford 1600 in the UK as well as his native Kirkistown-based series. At Brands Hatch, he steered his Van Diemen RF00/JL12 to victories in his heat, semi-final and the final itself to jump up four positions into the runner-up spot in the Rankings on 17 wins.
