He also contested two races of the Fórmula Júnior Portugal Winter Series, finishing in sixth and eighth places during the two races in Estoril. In 2009, Tincknell remained with the newly renamed CRS Racing, to contest a full season of Formula Renault UK.[5] He started well, setting the first pole position of the season at Brands Hatch[6] before finishing behind Oliver Webb in the first race. Further podiums came at Thruxton, Oulton Park and Rockingham as Tincknell finished fifth overall in the championship standings. His consistent finishing also earned him the Graduate Cup title, where first-year drivers battle for honours, with the best fifteen finishes for each drivers counting towards the championship. At the conclusion of the season, Tincknell dominated the Winter Series, finishing each of the four races on the podium and winning two of them. He also contested a round of the Formula Renault 2.0 Northern European Cup at Oschersleben, finishing both races in seventeenth place.

After a difficult weekend at the Croft circuit, he bounced back to take a pole position and victory at Snetterton breaking the lap record which still stands on the way to the win. However, the final 4 rounds of the season proved a struggle for the team with the new Formula Renault car and Tincknell managed one more podium and 3 top five places to eventually finish 5th overall in the championship.
At the start of 2010, Tincknell was also invited to become to part of the British Racing Drivers' Club Rising Stars programme.[9] He was also confirmed as one of ten drivers selected by the UK's motorsport governing body, the Motor Sports Association, to take part in its driver development programme, Team UK.

British Formula Three
Tincknell signed with Fortec Motorsport to race in the British Formula 3 Championship in 2011.[11] After a tough start to the year at Monza he claimed in his first F3 podium at Oulton Park at the second race of the season before going on to finish 2nd at the next round at Snetterton. At the following round at Brands Hatch Grand Prix Circuit, Tincknell took his first win of his Formula Three career leading the race from pole position.[12] He claimed his 4th podium of the season at the Nurburgring, Germany. After starting in 8th position, Tincknell made an astonishing start to make up 5 places on the way down to the first corner and ended the race in 3rd position.
