HIGHCOCK LEAPS TO THIRD IN RYAN MOTORSPORT INSURANCE AUTOSPORT NATIONAL RANKINGS
Two more BMW 120 Coupe Cup victories have propelled Matthew Highcock up to third in the Ryan Motorsport Insurance Autosport National Rankings.
Highcock's Snetterton success means he is the highest-placed improver in the table this week, after jumping 16 places up the leaderboard. He sits at the head of a gaggle of eight drivers that now have seven wins to their name - but all of these racers are still five shy of table-topper Ali Bray.
The only other change inside the top 10 comes courtesy of Alistair Camp, who picked up a Civic Cup win at Croft. He now leaps from 16th to ninth.
Another driver enjoying a fruitful trip to Yorkshire was Jamie Ellwood. He was triumphant in all three Caterham Graduates Sigma 150 bouts to be the top driver on six 2025 wins as he blasts his way from outside the top 50 last week and immediately into 11th spot.
Further south, another BMW driver who had a victorious Snetterton meeting was Peter Keen. He not only bagged the 116 Trophy class spoils in the two races Highcock won outright, but he also prevailed in the mini-enduro to enter the top 50 in 19th position.
A very different car to enjoy success was Simon Allaway's wonderful Lotus Esprit. Engine trouble prevented him from taking up pole in the Special Saloons and Modsports opener at the Silverstone Classic Sports Car Club event, but he bagged a triumph in race two to rise from joint 49th to 26th.

Back at Snetterton, there was no stopping Ryan Yarrow as he scored two Sports 1000 wins in his Spire to take his 2025 total to five victories and move into the top 50 in 30th 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.
