FIA Deputy President (Sport) Graham Stoker was one of the high profile figures crowning the 2019 British Champions during Motorsport UK’s prestigious Night of Champions ceremony in London last night (25 January).

David Richards CBE, Chairman of Motorsport UK, hosted the winners of British motorsport’s most prestigious titles for the annual awards evening at the Royal Automobile Club. They were joined by a series of special award winners, each recognised for outstanding achievement in their areas of contribution to the sport. Steve Rider and Hannah White co-presented the evening.

David Richards said: “Motorsport UK British Championships represent the highest level of competition in this country and the Night of Champions recognises the achievements of British drivers across a wide range of motorsport disciplines.

“Tonight is also an opportunity to thank those that organise the sport, our Club and Volunteers of the Year as well as special awards for Young Journalists and Photographers.”

“It’s a true celebration for all those that make our sport the great success it is in this country”

While the evening crowns Champions who are regularly in the spotlight, it also gives equal recognition to other forms of motorsport which have British Championships and whose winners demonstrate a huge amount of dedication and skill.

The special awards recognise and celebrate excellence in the wider motorsport community.
