Lucky Khera consolidated his lead in the Autosport National Driver Rankings with another victory last weekend, while Junior Saloons star Harry Hickton has now moved into second.
Khera has taken his 2022 tally to 10 wins after his latest triumph in the British Endurance Championship contest at Snetterton. Sharing with McLaren factory driver Euan Hankey, Khera's win in a 720S GT3 means he has now achieved his victories in three different GT machines.
Despite Khera's latest win, his advantage at the head of the winners' table remains at four as he was far from the only driver to achieve notable success in Norfolk.
SPOTLIGHT: The unusual and unexpected from national motorsport this week
Hickton has proven to be the class of the JSCC field so far this year and has only been beaten once in the first seven races, grabbing another brace of wins at the weekend. The Snetterton triumphs have therefore taken him from seventh to second on the leaderboard to become Khera's closest challenger.
But Jasver Sapra went even better in terms of Snetterton successes, achieving three wins across the British Automobile Racing Club event.
He won both of the Britcar Trophy contests in the BMW E46 M3 he shared with Bryan Branson, as well as also taking Snetterton Saloons spoils. Those results have taken him from outside of the top 50 straight up to an impressive fifth place. He is one spot behind Historic Formula Ford 2000 ace Benn Simms, who was also victorious at the weekend.
The Reynard SF77 pilot picked up a win at Silverstone but had to start from the back in the second race after a late paddock trip and powered his way through to second, denying him the chance of progressing further up the rankings. Nevertheless, he still climbed six places to be part of the growing group of drivers with five wins to their name.
There were no other changes inside the top 10, the next highest improver being Jordan Dempsey. The National Formula Ford 1600 contender picked up two wins at Croft, the first only after leaders Jamie Sharp and Lucas Romanek dramatically collided at the Jim Clark Esses.
Dempsey is therefore another driver to have moved from outside the top 50 and onto the leaderboard in 13th spot. Colin Queen grabbed a last-lap win in race three at Croft, which allowed him to move from 36th to 16th in the table.
Further back, one of last year's frontrunners, Michael Cullen, has moved into 19th spot. The Irishman added to his early season Stryker successes by winning both of the Jack Sears Trophy races at Mallory Park in his Lotus Cortina.

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.
