'The Six-5 Special'

Sometimes, it's the car that's the star: Here's Jonathan Holtzman in the remarkable Tyrrell P34-recreation, making its competitive debut at Brands Hatch (2020) in the Masters Historic Formula One Championship.

For #JakeHill, this year's #BTCC was about drive, support, then execution: He not only had to want to win more than anyone else, he needed absolute commitment from his team, sponsors & family; and then needed to drive and race as he'd never driven or raced before 🏆

'Déjà vu'

Where have we seen this before? A talented Dutch karter, a famous racing father, and #RedBull livery...

#RoccoCoronel makes his car racing debut in the #GinettaJunior Winter Series at Silverstone with R Racing.

It's one of the most recognisable liveries in motorsport, propelled to fame by Senna, Peugeot, and Rossi, and here, adorning the #VanDiemen RF90 of #AlexAmes, racing to a brilliant class win at this year's #WalterHayesTrophy Grand Final.

There's nothing boring about being predictable, especially when your name is #ColinTurkington.

The Northern Irishman has enjoyed a long, unrivalled career in the British Touring Car Championship, winning four drivers' title four times whilst amassing 72 wins

When will #BobbyThompson get the break he deserves? We thought that it was going to be this year (when he tested for WSR (then raced at Snetterton before 'financial complexities' scuppered everything).

Here's hoping that 2025 will see him back on the #BTCC grid.

'Point made'

For 2024, #SebHopkins took the bold step to leave the British GT Championship and join the fiercely competitive #PorscheSprintChallenge. #GT4 racing is tough; one-make GT4 racing both brutal & demanding. 5 wins & 8 podiums later, he was its champion.

In 1927, this #BugattiType35C won the 430-mile San Sebastian Grand Prix. Ninety-seven years later, it's still racing and still winning. Here it is at this year's #VSCC #PomeroyTrophy meeting with Lukas Halusa at the wheel.

2024 started off well for #AidenMoffat with a win on the #BTCC's opening weekend. Sadly, it soon went downhill after that. But now, with LKQ Euro Car Parts and West Surrey Racing joining forces for 2025, the best seat in the business might just be in sight.

'Max Power'

When Raffaelle Marciello became unavailable for RAM Racing, the question facing the #BritishGT squad was "how do you replace such a talent?"

Here's #MaxHesse, proving his worth as he powers to the fastest lap in qualifying at Donington Park.

When #RonanPearson joined the #BTCC, he made it his home, making it the boldest of decisions to step away, especially as he'd raced to his maiden win in May. There's little doubt that there would have been more, and much hope that there still will be.

'Shine'

It wasn't a winning year in #BritishGT for #EdMcDermott & 2023 GT4 champion #MattCowley, but framed in bright sunlight, brakes glowing, their Mercedes-AMG GT was still a firm fans'/photographers' favourite.

'Stepping up'

It's 3 yrs since I first saw #JohnBennett test a #GB3 car as he made the switch from Ginettas to single-seaters. Now, he's an established race winner, vice-champion, and incredibly already has 2 weekends of Formula 2 racing behind him.

Bring on 2025

'Skully'

Most of us have a soft spot for a badass

#Skully grew over the winter months. No longer a GT4, it returned to @BritishGT with #MattTopham & #JoshRowledge as a swashbuckling GT3, dressed to impress in those pedal-to-the-metal moments

'Girl Power'

What a year it's been for #AbbiPulling, becoming the first female winner in #BritishF4, then dominating #F1Academy in the race to the title.

It's been a long, hard, and expensive journey for the Pullings, but now, GB3 and destiny await.

'ROKiT Man'

In 2022, a young sim racer entered a competition to win a fully funded season in #BritishF4. Today, he's its newest champion, having delivered one of the most dominant junior single-seater campaigns ever... and all because the team at #ROKiT believed 👏

When a former #BritishGT champion teams up with a bloke with a white suit & helmet (who some say eats worn slicks for breakfast), the result is always going to be special.

Here's the #Porsche911GT3R of #IanLoggie & #PhilKeen, showing pace & class on its

'Mini Magic'

For those of a certain age, our first cars were inevitably Minis: A rite of passage, for some, a lifelong obsession for others.

Here's Nigel Death, organiser of the 'Fastest Mini in the World' competition, in his 1964 Cooper S 😊

'4x4'

This was season 10 for #BritishF4, and its #4, #RezaSeewooruthun, soon turned into one of its finest rising stars with two wins, six podiums, and 14 points finishes for the Hitech driver, not to mention a bronze medal for Team UK in the FIA Motorsport Games.
