Mazda MX-5 star Aidan Hills climbed further towards the summit of the Ryan Motorsport Insurance Autosport National Rankings after another win at Donington Park last weekend.
Hills won the Miata Trophy opener in Leicestershire, his eighth victory of 2025, but his undefeated streak in the series came to halt in the second contest when he had a slide at the Melbourne Hairpin and narrowly avoided clattering into his team-mate.
Nevertheless, his sole triumph still sends him from 13th up to seventh on the leaderboard - but, had he continued his Miata Trophy dominance, he would now be inside the top five.
There were only three UK car racing events last weekend so you have to go all the way down to 20th in the table to find the next improver: Jason Smyth.
The Formula Ford 1600 ace bagged another two United championship victories at Lydden Hill to move onto seven for the year and propel him up from outside the top 50 last week.
Further down, Ollie Reuben headed a special race to celebrate 60 years of the TVR Car Club at Donington in his Griffith, beating a bevy of Tuscans for his sixth win of the year. He therefore reenters the table in 31st.

And completing this week's improvers is BMW Supercup frontrunner Thorburn Astin, who was twice triumphant at Snetterton. He is therefore another new entry into the top 50 in 38th place.

All car races in UK and Ireland are included except qualification/repechage, consolation and handicap races. No races in other countries.
Class wins are only counted when there are at least six starters in the class, except: when the race is part of a multi-stage event where six or more have taken part in earlier heats that feed into a semi-final or final; when multiple championships are merged in the same race, the ‘overall’ winner from the slower championship can count a class win as long as that championship has at least 10 starters across all classes. Only classes divided by car characteristics are included, not those divided by driver characteristics such as ability, professional status, age, experience (for example rookie or pro-am classes). Each race counts only once, so an overall winner’s class win is not added.
Where there is a tie, overall wins take precedence. Where there is still a tie, average grid size for a driver’s wins determines the order.
