Single-seaters

After winning the T Cars championship in 2000, Hall moved into single-seaters. In 2002, he finished ninth in the British Formula Ford Championship, before coming fourth in that year's Winter Series, where he won two of the four races.[2] The following year he only started 12 of the 20 races in the series, concentrating instead on his A level studies.[3] After debuting in Formula Renault in the 2003 UK Winter Series, he raced full-time in Formula Renault UK in 2004. Driving for Fortec Motorsport, he finished seventh overall with three podium finishes. He then won the Winter Series, winning one of the four races. He remained in Formula Renault UK in 2005, but slipped to eighth overall although he had increased his podium tally to five.[citation needed]

2006 saw Hall move up to British Formula Three. He raced the first five race weekends with Fortec, before missing the sixth round at Spa-Francorchamps and returning with T-Sport. He finished the year 13th in the standings.[citation needed]
