Alice Powell became the first female driver to win any Formula Renault championship after overhauling a 16-point deficit to rival Mitchell Hale of
Fortec Motorsport at the season's final meeting at Thruxton.[2] Powell won two races at
Silverstone and Thruxton with five second places compared to Hale's three victories at Brands Hatch, Silverstone and
Snetterton. Third place was also resolved at the final round of the season between Powell's teammate James Theodore and Josh Webster, who started the season as Hale's teammate but took part in the final meeting for Welch Motorsport. Theodore, a race-winner at
