The British Automobile Racing Club’s Annual Awards Evening delivered a star-studded night of celebrations on Saturday 7th February, as some of the biggest names in British motorsport came together to look back on what proved to be a successful 2025 season.

Staged at the prestigious Belfry Hotel & Resort in Warwickshire for the first time, the glittering evening saw more than 200 guests attend to celebrate the achievements of last year’s champions, officials and volunteers.

Hosted by the sublime Alan Hyde, guests not only had the opportunity to look back on the year that was but they also heard from BARC Chairman Tony Scott Andrews, BARC Chief Executive Ben Taylor and Motorsport UK Chief Executive Hugh Chambers.

Championship silverware was dished out too with the likes of Tom Ingram, Ian Bower, Ryan Smith, Adam Smalley, Dominic Malone and Alex Keens being just some of the deserving title winners that were in attendance.

One of the biggest accolades to be handed out over the course of the evening was the coveted BARC Gold Medal, which is awarded by the Club’s Council for outstanding achievement in motor racing by British subjects.

Following his monumental charge to a maiden FIA Formula 1 World Drivers’ Championship last year, McLaren ace Lando Norris – who grew up competing at BARC race meetings – was merited with the Club’s highest honour.

Alongside Norris’ triumph, a number of other secret accolades were also presented to some unsuspecting winners throughout the night as well.

Chris Davenport scooped The Sir Clive Bossom Trophy – which is for conducting the most volunteering days in 2025 – for a record third time whilst Jake Southcombe was announced as the BARC Marshal of the Year.

Madison Maskell was bestowed with the Peter Harris Trophy for being the leading trainee marshal of the year and Dan Smith was the recipient of the Goodwood Marshals Trophy, a returning award designed to celebrate those marshals at Goodwood events.

Jonathan Moore was a deserving winner of The Peter Collins Trophy, which is awarded to the most promising newcomer competing in a BARC championship, whilst his fellow Porsche Sprint Challenge Great Britain competitors Hannah Chapman clinched The Densley Trophy.

Two-time CNC Heads Sports/Saloon Car Championship title winner Simon Allaway was the final secret award recipient as he was handed The President’s Cup after a flawless season which included 11 victories.

In addition to the prize-giving, more than £1000 was raised during the annual raffle for the BARC Marshal and Rescue Fund, with prizes including a signed Lando Norris McLaren hat, tickets to events and more.

Ben Taylor, BARC Chief Executive, said: “It was once again another fantastic evening of celebrations and this year’s event has seen our biggest turnout of champions, which is absolutely brilliant.

“More than 200 people joined us to commemorate the achievements of last season and I think what was great to see that it wasn’t just drivers. We had marshals, officials, council members and venue representatives all in attendance.

“The 2025 season was super busy for the BARC and of course came with its own challenges. We had some headwinds to overcome such as the economic climate and some personnel changes but everyone worked hard to ensure it was a success.

“At the end of the day we are a club and a club is a collection of like-minded people that want to do the same thing. Events like this are a celebration of what it means to be a part of the BARC and the perfect opportunity to give ourselves a pat on the back before starting all again.”
