Hayward hares up to second in Autosport National Driver Rankings

Hayward has once again been the driver to beat in the CSP2 division of the series this year, winning seven of the nine races so far in a Mallock Mk23.

Her latest successes mean she has risen 30 places on the leaderboard and has narrowed Lucky Khera's lead at the top of the standings to three wins.

But Hayward was far from the only driver to boost their position after last weekend's club racing action, as Jasver Sapra moved into third spot after registering his sixth win of the year in his BMW M3.

His latest victory came in the Clubsport Trophy contest at Silverstone, a win that has moved him up from fifth.

Also on the rise was Mini Se7en S class racer Michael Winkworth, who triumphed twice more at Cadwell Park - including taking an impressive overall podium in race one - to move from 29th to fifth.

That is one place above Mazda MX-5 ace Fraser Fenwick, who picked up another win in his Mk1 machine at Silverstone to gain two spots and take sixth.

Further back in the top 10, on a weekend where there has been a lot of movement up and down the leaderboard, two drivers that claimed treble victories have shot up the rankings.

BMW Compact Cup racer Mikey Doble and reigning Pickup Truck Racing champion George Turiccki were not inside the top 50 last week, but their hat-tricks over the weekend have sent them charging into ninth and 10th places, respectively.

Further back, Cody Tree claimed two overall Clubmans victories at Brands to take his combined 2022 tally to five and move him to 13th place, one position above Craig Land - another driver to enjoy triple success, this time in Locost at Brands.

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. Only classes divided by car characteristics are included. Classes divided by driver characteristics such as ability, professional status, age, experience (for example rookie or Pro-Am classes) are not included.

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.
