This season has seen Motorsport UK’s many Championships deliver top-class competition and plenty of dramatic action, from the front-runners in the British Touring Car Championship to the flying future stars in British F4.

Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship

This year’s title went down to the wire and concluded in a breathtaking final day of racing at Brands Hatch.
Jake Hill came into the weekend level on points with rival Tom Ingram and the pair took a win each in the first
two races. It was Hill who went on to clinch the crown with a clinical drive, passing Ingram on track to triumph
in front of a highly charged and passionate home crowd. It was a dramatic conclusion to a season that saw 10
different race winners, with Hill claiming eight victories to Ingram’s six.

British GT Championship

Rob and Ricky Collard were crowned GT3 champions and Jack Brown and Zac Meakin took the GT4 title as both GT championships went down to the wire at Brands Hatch. Despite seeing fellow Barwell drivers Alex Martin and Sandy Mitchell score maximum points in the final event, the consistent Collards claimed the title by five, having won just two events. Meanwhile, Brown and Meakin overturned a 3.5-point deficit with a fourth win of the season in the concluding round to take the GT4 title.

ROKiT F4 British Championship – Certified by FIA

Deagen Fairclough secured the title with five races to spare after a dominant season saw him achieve a record breaking total of 14 wins. It began with the first race of the season at Donington Park in April, and from there he went on to reach the top step at Brands Hatch, Thruxton, Silverstone, Zandvoort, Knockhill and Donington Park. Victory in the first race of the penultimate weekend at Silverstone gave him a sufficient gap over second place to become champion.

British Endurance Championship

Peter Erceg and Marcus Clutton took the overall victory at every round but with the handicapping system
equalising points-scoring opportunities across Classes A, B, C and F, the Audi GT3 Class A drivers had to maintain their competitive edge throughout. Having been close to losing the virtual points victory on more than one occasion, they ended their campaign with a 34-point advantage over Class D Porsche GT4 drivers Bal Sidu and Josh Steed.

British Truck Racing Championship

Ryan Smith clinched a ninth consecutive Division 1 title this year. The Mansfield-based driver swept his way to
the crown, collecting 22 wins in his Daimler Freightliner. “I’m delighted for my team as they’ve worked so hard
all year,” added Smith, “this is as much their title as it is mine.” Division 2 champion John Powell took the title at Brands Hatch, the final round of the season, amassing 14 wins and his maiden title.

Motorsport UK British Drag Racing Championship

Drag Racing Hall of Fame member Andy Robinson clocked up his ninth title at Santa Pod this season,
beating rival Bobby Wallace by 89 points as the two legends of the track battled it out head-and-shoulders
above the rest. Driving his red and black 69 Chevy Camaro, Robinson bettered the points haul of Camaro
ZL-1-driver Wallace in all but two of the events, with the pair equally matched in the final rained-shortened round.
