It’s going to get busy! TOCA package on the TV, BARC LIVE from Silverstone on the tablet or mobile and soak it all in. Are you ready?

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.

You follow all the action from Silverstone live on our YouTube channel – www.youtube.com/@britishautomobileracingclub and all the racing drama from Brands Hatch on ITV4 this weekend. You don’t want to miss it!

Enjoy the final race weekend of August!

We have all done it. Summer holidays… we are asked to look after cats while our parents, children, friends or neighbours go away on holiday. Some people get to look after cats of a different kind! Big Cats! Britcar Endurance Championship Technical Director David Hornsey was invited to drive the monstrous TWR built Jaguar XJS V12 Supercat during the circuit racing summer break. The event in question was the British Automobile Racing Club supported Goodwood Festival of Speed where David got the chance to make the big cat purrrr!

Ian Waterhouse on BARC TV caught up with the Britcar official at the recent round at Donington Park.

“I worked with TWR [Tom Walkinshaw Racing] for about a year, 18 months – working on chassis development for the Supercat and it was my honour to drive it at the Goodwood for its dynamic launch. The car I drove was the American press car and was the first finished car built and was back in the UK for some media and photography work as well as some events and that was the first time the public saw the car moving.”

88 of the exciting cars will be built to celebrate the 1988 Le Mans win that TWR masterminded with the Jaguar XJR-9 during the Group C era. Hornsey brings us up to speed with the stats and spec of this thunderous car!

“It is a Jaguar XJS underneath – they are all developed from an original car. It keeps some of the original chassis and keeps the original V12 block which has been bored out to 5.6 litres with a supercharger strapped on. Everything else is bespoke and new – other than the door handles! It’s such an experience to drive – for the show they put straight pipes on it to make it louder, but that’s the noise the road car makes, just at a more acceptable volume. Being in that car with 100,000 people watching with flames belching out the exhaust and noise reverberating off the flint wall was incredible. I had Radzi [Chinyanganya] one of the Goodwood presenters, alongside me on one run, and I think it fried his brain as halfway up he stopped talking as he was speechless!”

Going up the famous hill can be quite daunting – what was the weekend like in the car? We heard the car got ushered into the Shootout?

“We started the weekend just doing demo runs and I have been fortunate enough to have done lots of runs up the hill for different manufacturers over the years – so you drive at 70% and show off a bit but you make sure the car is safe. On Saturday morning Goodwood approached us as the car was creating such a buzz on social media they wanted the car to go up the hill more – but the only session available was the timed runs. I had to beg, borrow and steal some overalls, boots and off we went! It’s a lot narrower when you are pushing!”

Did you have a target then of what the car could do or what you wanted it to do?

“Before we went up, I had no idea what time we could get and didn’t really want to know as I wanted to drive it and see what would happen. We got a 58 second run on the first go and that put us fourth or fifth in the road car class which was ok. I thought if than go a little quicker in a few areas I could knock a second or two off and we ended up doing a 55 second run – third in class and beat the Ferrari and Lister Storm GT1 which I was quite pleased with. 11th overall was a really great result out of 20 something cars. It was the most intense minute I have ever had in motorsport!”

The British Automobile Racing Club is delighted to announce that Simon Lambert has been appointed to the role of BARC Sporting Director, following the departure of former Sporting Manager, Mark Turner.

Simon will lead the BARC’s experienced Competitions team, focusing on delivering excellent customer service to club members, competitors, marshals, officials and many others in a comprehensive schedule of more than 30 events and race meetings each season. He will also look at the development of the BARC as a members’ club, exploring the kind of activities that will attract a developing membership base to one of the UK’s oldest and most prestigious racing clubs.

Presently the Chief Motorsport Officer for Caterham, Simon has led and developed the company’s motorsport activities for 17 years. An accomplished competitor in his own right, with titles in Caterham and BMW racing, he has raced in the UK, Europe and Japan. As such, he brings a huge amount of experience to the role. He was responsible for the decision to bring Caterham Motorsport to the BARC stable in 2023 and consequently his personal knowledge as a customer will be invaluable in improving the club’s offering to all championships.

Simon Lambert said: “I have had an incredible journey with Caterham and I am immensely proud of what we have built as a team over the years. I am excited about being able to use that knowledge and experience to support all of the BARC’s championships, drivers and volunteers in the future. And, of course, that includes supporting the team I leave behind, helping them to continue to develop the Caterham championships.”

Ben Taylor, BARC Chief Executive, said: “We are absolutely delighted that Simon has agreed to join us and I am really excited to start working with him to shape the future of this great club. Simon brings with him racing pedigree, manufacturer credentials, marketing track record and a focus on customer experience – these are all critical to making the BARC’s service to championships and competitors the very best that it can be.

“I would like to take the opportunity to pay tribute to the work that Mark Turner has delivered in the past four and a half years and to thank him for the impact that he has had on the BARC’s competitions department. He leaves a great legacy and a solid platform on which Simon can build to take the club’s activities to the next level.”

Simon Lambert will take up his position with BARC later in the year. In the meantime, any enquiries should be directed to Ben Taylor, BARC Chief Executive.

Summer is here, the sun is shining and we have a weekend full of British Automobile Racing Club racing action at Thruxton, Harewood, Oulton Park and Silverstone.
