The double British Junior Supermoto champion took his TRM Honda to second spot at the NORAsport National Championship opener at Blyton Raceway, behind his team-mate and sponsor Lee Rudd.
This was despite suffering from a total electrical failure, due to a broken connection, during qualifying that meant he had to start from last.
But Cornish powered his way through the pack on the fastest track in British supermoto to take his place on the podium.
The following weekend saw Lewis dominating rounds one and two of the Southern Supermoto Championships at Lydd International Raceway in Kent.
The 16 year-old racer took pole positions and five out of the six race wins against much more experienced opposition, to put his HM Racing prepared bike on the top step of the podium.
