Hall will contest the final four races of the season at Mosport International Raceway piloting a BGR Van Diemen car. The Ottawa native currently leads the rookie standings and is ninth in the overall standings, having scored three top-10 finishes and one top-five finishes.

Born in England, the teenager became involved in motorsports upon moving to Canada.
