There is not just one, but over ten British Automobile Racing Club titles that can be decided at both Brands Hatch and Silverstone this weekend.

Over in Kent, the Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship tops the billing with the showdown between Tom Ingram and Ash Sutton set to keep spectators on the edge of their seat. Brands Hatch GP race goers will also see the final stages of the Wera Tools F4 British Championship, Porsche Carrera Cup GB, Porsche Sprint Challenge GB and Vertu MINI Challenge JCW be played out.

Meanwhile in in Northampton, the MINI Challenge Clubsport with Airtec Motorsport series comes to a head as does the fleet of Caterham classes all ready to jostle for those vital championship points. Supporting them will be a plethora of Classic Touring car classes – who will enter into their penultimate round. We will catch up with them in November, in the meantime here’s who to look out for.

Brands Hatch

BTCC
The big one – the rivalry of the modern BTCC era. Ingram v Sutton. Ash Sutton is gunning for a record breaking fifth title in his Ford Focus, while Hyundai i30 hotshot Tom Ingram is looking to double up his title tally.

Ingram holds the advantage by 33 points. That sounds like a lot, but for 20 points for a win and one DNF – that could swing momentum very quickly. With three races – anything can happen!

In the Independents – its game on! Daniel Lloyd, Mikey Doble, and Chris Smiley will go head-to-head-to-head at Brands Hatch with just 13 points separating them all.

British F4
Could we be witnessing a future F1 driver carve his name into the history books alongside the likes of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri? Red Bull backed driver Fionn McLaughlin has one hand on the trophy after a scintillating debut season so far which has already seen him wrap up the Rookie Cup.

Now the eyes of the Irishman are on the outright crown. In his way are Jimmy Piszcyk and Martin Molnár. Both will need a monumental weekend behind the wheel to overhaul the 61.5 point deficit – but anything is possible! Will McLaughlin hold under the pressure?

Porsche Carrera Cup GB
In the glorious sounding Porsche Carrera Cup GB ranks, it’s close at ever turn. In the Pro series, Andrew Rackstraw holds the reins but will be looking over his shoulder at Will Martin who is just ten points behind. In the Pro-Am division, Oliver White will lock-horns with former BTCC peddlers Max Coates and Ollie Jackson – with all having a mathematical chance, while Jonathan Beeson and Sebastian Hopkins are all but sure of the Amateur and Rookie titles.

Porsche Sprint Challenge GB
In the Sprint Championship – it’s a close run affair with Tom Bradshaw, Jacob Tofts and Joe Marshall all in the hunt for the Professional Category crown, while Oliver Meadows is in the driving seat in the Amateur category with Matthew Kyle-Henney and Reece Somerfield due to breathe down his neck at Brands.

Vertu MINI Challenge JCW
The popular single-make MINI championship is a favourite on the TOCA package and these rapid tin-tops will entertain and fight for supremacy until the very end. Former rallycross man Tom Ovenden has switched superbly to circuit racing and has a strong 70 point grip over NAPA Racing duo Jamie Osbourne and Lewis Selby, and 82 points over Max Edmundson. With over 150 points on offer however – all four have a chance of taking the top prize on Sunday afternoon.

Silverstone

Caterham Seven Championship UK
After a brilliant season in the top-flight Caterham class – Matt Armstrong comes to the Silverstone Showdown with a 37 point buffer over Harry Senior and Harry Cook, who has a mathematical chance of netting the title too – but he will have to rely upon those in front to falter to pull in the disadvantage.

Vertex Caterham Seven 310R Championship

It will be close in the 310R division between Taylor O’Flanagan and Lars Hoffmann – the pair have been the class acts of the season. However, with dropped scores Phillip Bianchi and Charlie Lower are also ones to watch at Silverstone this weekend.

Edge Caterham Seven 270R Championship

It appears to be a two-horse race for glory as the season long sparring match between Ben Wheatley and Louis Darling comes to a crescendo. The scales of success are just tilting in the favour of Wheatley as the middle rung on the Caterham ladder will be the last title to be decided on Sunday evening.

Blistein Caterham Roadsport Championship

The race for first place is wide open in the Roadsport series, with seven drivers still within a possible hunt for the number one spot. William Harris comes to Silverstone with the target on his back but between him and his brother Charles in seventh, the top seven are bookended by 52 points, with Brian Thornton, Scott Helme, Craig Evans, Alastair Morton and Daniel Crawley will all be ready for the tussle. This could well be the championship to watch this weekend!

Moobob Caterham Academy Championship

Max Richardson has the wind in his sails coming to Silverstone, with the Englishman having won the last round at Snetterton. Winning his first car racing title would be the icing on the cake in his first season of circuit racing – but out to stop him will be the constant friendly thorn in his side Matt Fox – who is also a race winner in 2025 and could go well this weekend. Look out too for Richard Davies and Kyle Townend who will be out for a late season surprise as they look to mix up the championship fight.

MINI Challenge Clubsport with Airtec Motorsport

Last, but by no means least – the Clubman MINI Challenge brigade. After an action-packed season, everything comes down to this weekend. Expect flat-out racing, close battles, and plenty of drama as the grid fights for glory at one of the most iconic circuits in the world.
Oli Willmott is in the driving seat in the S56 class with the likes of Freddy Hewitt and Steve Webb nipping at his heels. In the S53 category Andy Langley is in control, as is Dan Truman in the Cooper class.
