Six Champions Crowned and New Lap Records Set at Castle Combe

The Castle Combe Racing Club's Champions’ Coronation meeting concluded the season with high-level competition despite an early three-car incident involving Keith Butcher, Will Di Claudio, and Jack Boulton in the GT/Saloon session. Swift barrier repairs by the circuit maintenance crew allowed organisers to reshuffle the schedule and finish the event on time. In the GT/Saloon races, Will Self claimed victory in both contests driving his Honda Civic EG K24, while Jack Boulton secured the Saloon championship.

In the MX-5 Cup, Matt Highcock sealed the title by securing his ninth victory of the season in the opening race, before Simon Walker-Hansell established a new lap record of 1m19.879s in the finale. Meanwhile, Luke Cooper earned two more race victories to become a four-time Castle Combe Formula Ford champion.

The Hot Hatch action saw Trevor Gregory and Lee Buckley secure race wins in the 750 Motor Club Hot Hatch category, while Julian Fisher achieved a double victory in the Combe Hot Hatch races. Sam Williams successfully defended his Class D title, and Corey Webber earned a consolation class championship. In the 750MC Type R Trophy, Danny Hobson clinched the title alongside a new lap record with a win in the opening race.

Closing out the meeting, George Line dominated the Tiedeman Trophy winter series races. Driving a Dallara-VW/Spiess F308, Line set a lap record of 60.96 seconds, marking the fastest lap recorded at Castle Combe this season.
