SuperChamps - The Final
Daytona Milton Keynes
And just like that, the first season of the 2025 SuperChamps series at Daytona Milton Keynes comes to a dramatic close. In a thrilling finale marked by a sudden shift from prime track conditions to downpours and wet-weather racing, drivers battled hard for those all-important final points in pursuit of the coveted SuperChamps Champion title.
SODI:
Charlie Csepreghi took the first heat of the day in the Lightweights only one second over his brother, and Championship, rival Jacob Csepreghi. Owen Turpin took third place on track however, a three position post-race penalty promoted Brandon Edwards up to the podium spots.
In the Heavyweights it was Freddie Jenkins who took the victory in Heat One after dominating the race and finishing eight seconds in front of Charlie Fenton in second place and Sailesh Shah in third.
In Heat Two it was yet again C.Csepreghi who took the victory after a fantastic last to first drive, despite a much-shortened race due to torrential rain which saw the event paused for an hour as the water needed to be cleared from the track. Turpin came second place with Thomas Langford taking the final spot on the podium.
Agastya Lahkar took the Heat victory in the Heavyweights finishing just a few seconds in front of Jenkins, with Fenton yet again picking up another top three finish.
Charlie Csepreghi made it three victories from three as he picked up the victory in the final race of the season and with it took the Championship victory after an impressive season. Turpin managed to hold on to take second place with Langford a further four seconds back in third.
Jenkins took the race victory in the Heavyweights and also wrapped up his Championship in style as he finished 40 points in front of his closest rival of Fenton who picked up second in the championship and the race. Lahkar impressed on his debut in the Championship to take the final spot on the Heavyweight podium.
It would be remiss not to mention the incredible driving of racers like Tom Justice, who impressed staff, competitors and spectators alike with thunderous rounds, namely the first, fourth and seventh, where he picked up podiums in devastation fashion. The five rounds he has driven in have all been a delight to watch and we eagerly anticipate his future drives at Daytona. To provide more colour to the Sodi Lightweight division, the season long battle for first between championship frontrunners, and brothers, Charlie and Jacob Csepreghi has grounds to be called the highlight. Along with Thomas Langford, these drivers have been consistent frontrunners, making a home for themselves on the podium at almost every race they’ve entered. All incredibly close throughout the season, with C.Csepreghi edging the others to claim a SuperChamps title. Owen Turpin should also be praised in the Lights, picking up his first race win in the championship in the first round, with an impressive drive in the final round to boot, securing P2 and an overall P6 in the final championship standings. Expect big things from Turpin in the future as his driving goes from strength to strength.
The Heavyweights saw Freddie Jenkins dominate the division, with a 37-point lead between himself and P2 at the conclusion of the season. Barry Morris should also be mentioned, securing two race victories with maximum points out of just three rounds at which he competed.
DMAX:
James King took the victory in the first Heat of the day as he looked to finish strong in the Championship, with him already guaranteed to take home a SuperChamps title before gaining a single point in Round Eight. Harry Asher took second place just 2.6 seconds back with Luka Nik in third.
In the Heavyweights Scott Woosey took the heat as he put one hand on the trophy as he finished four seconds in front of Ashley Mayston-King with David Line picking up third place.
King yet again took the victory in the Second Heat with Mayston-King taking the victory in the Heavyweights after finishing second overall, six seconds behind King and leading the rest of the Lightweight pack. Nik picked up yet another podium with Julia Stankowiak taking third. Woosey yet again picked up another Heat podium in second with Zack Llewellyn-Morris in third.
It was Mayston-King that managed to take the overall race victory as well as the win in the Heavyweights after finishing in front of Nik by eight-tenths. However, it wasn’t quite enough to dethrone Woosey who came home in second place and with it his first DMAX Championship. King couldn’t quite manage to take the victory however did take the Championship after a dominant season. Asher picked up the final spot on the podium in the Lightweights with Llewellyn-Morris in third in the Heavyweights.
This has been an incredibly exciting season in the DMAX division, with Daytona favourites like Samuel Spencer taking their first race wins in the championship. Spencer doing so in dominant fashion and picking up maximum points in Round Seven, catapulting him to a P3 podium finish. Time and time again we have seen dominant drives from James King, with yet another championship title under his belt his skill on track has been unparalleled this season, racking up a near 40-point lead over his closest rival, Luka Nik. No mean feat. We have also been lucky enough to witness Scott Woosey and Ashley Mayston-King in a season long battle for P1 in the Heavyweight division. Both incredibly competent and consistent drivers who can win races with ease on their day. This closely matched campaign ultimately concluded with Woosey narrowly taking the top spot, however next season Mayston-King will likely return with vengeance to reclaim his spot atop the championship standings.
