Just two wins now separate the first five drivers in the Ryan Motorsport Insurance Autosport National Rankings after Dan Brown returned to the top three following success last weekend.
Even though Brown was only triumphant in one of the two Racing Hondas bouts at Snetterton (he was second in the other), he moves up a place on the leaderboard having taken his 2024 tally to 15 victories. That is two behind current table-topper Stewart Black.
Another driver moving on to 15 wins is Michael Cullen. He finished at the top of the standings last year and enjoyed another successful Mondello Park event, where he was in his customary place at the head of the Irish Stryker field and also topped one of the Fiesta ST bouts.
That hat-trick has sent him from 13th to fourth in the rankings, although the regular Irish racing season has now concluded.
Also enjoying three wins at the weekend was Aidan Hills as he completed the defence of his Mazda MX-5 Supercup title in style with a clean sweep at Brands Hatch. The latest victories take his total to 13 and enable him to leap 12 places up the table and into eighth.
But one driver who failed to add to their tally was Jason Smyth. He was a frontrunner at the Formula Ford Festival but failed to top his heat after a clash with Josh Smith and later fell out of contention in the final when he inadvertently tagged Team Dolan stablemate Jordan Kelly.
Further back, there are plenty of other drivers who have improved their position, including Andrew Jordan. He headed the pilot race for Motor Racing Legends' new GT3 series at Silverstone in a Chevrolet Corvette alongside Matt Holme, while he also topped his class in the Jack Sears Trophy in his Austin 'GT40' with father Mike to send him flying from 28th to 14th on the leaderboard.
Others to improve include Historic Formula Ford 2000 champion Samuel Harrison, who returned to FF1600 machinery to tackle the Festival. His Elden was the only entry from the oldest historic class to make the grand final and picked up two class wins in the process, enabling him to jump 16 spots to 19th.
A shoutout must also go to John Spiers, who completed the remarkable feat of triumphing in four consecutive races in four different cars alongside the versatile Nigel Greensall at Silverstone. Victories in a Lister-Jaguar Knobbly, Shelby Cobra, Ford Capri and Ford Mustang have sent him into the top 50 this week in 49th 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.
