Three drivers have moved into double figures for race wins this season after last weekend’s action to propel themselves into high positions in the Ryan Motorsport Insurance Autosport National Rankings.
Matthew Highcock’s superb season in the 750 Motor Club’s BMW 116 Sprint Trophy & 120 Coupe Cup series continued at Silverstone with another success, Tyler Read netted a brace of Legends victories at Oulton Park, and Jonathan Moore continued his domination of the Clubsport class in the Porsche Sprint Challenge GB with a hat-trick at Knockhill.
Highcock therefore moves up from ninth to fourth in the Rankings, Read leaps from 16th to sixth, and Moore has vaulted 33 positions up to 11th, which each of them on 10 wins.
That still leaves them seven adrift of long-time table-topper Ali Bray and three behind George Line, with Simon Allaway (11 wins) the only other driver to exceed 10.
Highcock was briefly up to third in the Rankings with a second on-the-road victory at Silverstone, which would have put him level with Allaway on 11 and ahead on average grid size. But his exclusion for an underweight car from that race eventually kept him on 10.
Read is on a very strong run of late. There is nearly always a Legends driver towards – or at – the top of the Rankings, but the 2025 season started with the wins being shared around. His Oulton honours followed four wins at Croft a fortnight earlier, and he is beginning to make waves in the table.
Moore’s surge is a reflection of the Porsche Sprint Challenge’s lack of early-season dates, with Knockhill only the fifth round. But he has won his class in 10 out of 12 races, with six remaining.

This trio aren’t the only drivers to progress in the upper half of the top 50. Shane Stoney scored two successes in the Radical Club Challenge at Silverstone, and he therefore moves up 18 places to 13th. Meanwhile, TCR UK star Adam Shepherd has also been exercising his Honda Integra from time to time this year, and a CMMC Super Saloons & Tin Tops win at Brands Hatch lifts him 14 positions to 19th.
Like Highcock, Peter Keen has had a strong year in the 116 Sprint Trophy & 120 Coupe Cup. He was narrowly beaten in the 116 class in both races at Silverstone, but he has also been campaigning the car for outright honours in the separate 116 Trophy enduro series, and another win in this with his brother, British GT great Phil Keen, hoists him 17 places to 24th.

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.
