Kelly and Larkham jump up Autosport National Driver Rankings

Newly-crowned National Formula Ford 1600 champion Jordan Kelly and Northern Irish Roadsports ace Steven Larkham are the joint-highest improvers in the Autosport National Driver Rankings this week.

After a quiet weekend in which there were only three UK car circuit racing events, there was relatively little change inside Autosport's top 50 winners' table, but Kelly and Larkham did jump into joint 30th place.

Kelly scored two wins at Silverstone that enabled him to seal the 2023 title in the final season of the long-running championship - victories that also enabled him to leap up from outside the top 50.

Larkham joins him on nine wins for the year after twice triumphing at Kirkistown in his Radical PR6 and the pair are tied in the rankings as the average number of starters on the grid for their wins is exactly the same.

They are in turn five places above the next improver, Global GT Lights frontrunner Cameron Fenton.

The GT Lights shared a grid with Roadsports at Kirkistown and, although Fenton only topped the class once, it was still enough for him to climb 12 spots on the leaderboard.

One position behind Fenton in 36th is Graham Moore - who, bizarrely, was also tackling those same Kirkistown contests! He twice headed the Northern Ireland Sevens division in those races in his self-built GMS Fireblade machine.
