The Story Behind the Standings
In a season of dramatic highs and lows, we have witnessed round after round of incredible grassroots racing. SuperChamps sits among our most coveted championships, with previous class winners going on to compete across a wide spectrum of the motorsport world.
Whether this series is a stepping stone to the next level of racing or simply good-hearted competition on a Sunday, we at Daytona are incredibly grateful to host it. Our community feels stronger than ever, with younger drivers regularly singing the praises of our racing veterans, highlighting the growth the series offers through mentorship and high-level competition.
That growth is driven almost entirely by you, not us. Thank you for another great season, and we look forward to welcoming you back in February for Season One of 2026.
Daytona Sandown Park
The SODI Lights class has been one of the most volatile championship classes of the season, boasting a pedigree of closely matched drivers contesting every round. Ryan Bentley, a seasoned competitor in the class, set the tone early with a commanding victory in Round One. However, as the season progressed, younger and lighter drivers began to rise through the ranks, challenging Bentley’s early claim to championship glory. The first to truly step up was Peter Tilev, who has established himself as a consistent front-runner. Despite regularly challenging for podium positions, he sits just outside the top three heading into the season finale. With momentum on his side, Tilev is certainly one to watch in the closing round. Emerging as the drivers to beat in the latter stages of the championship have been Caesar Chen, Abhay Parmar, and Leger Dimitriou. From Rounds Three through Seven, the trio have traded podium positions relentlessly, with Chen claiming two victories, Parmar one, and Dimitriou two, setting up a thrilling conclusion to the season.
In SODI Heavies, another Daytona Sandown Park veteran has led the charge. Reece Harris is a familiar name at the venue, a returning SuperChamps champion and lap record holder, who entered the season as the firm favourite. Renowned for his consistency and relentless driving style, Harris has often taken the fight to the Lightweights during championship rounds. He arrives at the finale with a commanding lead, though not without pressure. Malachy Prakash and Ash Chivers have both risen to the challenge in select rounds, managing to displace Harris from his well-worn P1 position. Overhauling his season lead will be a monumental task, but if anyone is capable, it is this determined pair.
Much like the SODI Lights, the DMAX Lightweight class has been defined by unpredictability. Adam Palmer holds a slender lead after the penultimate round, with Thomas Williams and Fin Ions applying intense pressure as the championship reaches its climax. With everything still to play for, the final round promises fireworks if previous races are anything to go by. Round victories have been widely shared this season, with no driver claiming more than one win, except Archie Bullard, who narrowly secured victories in Rounds Three and Six. George Lawlor opened the season’s proceedings in Round One with a barnstorming victory and has continued to score strongly, particularly in Rounds Three and Six. Ellis McKenzie’s win in Round Two also captured the attention of the crowd, delivering another world-class performance for which he has become known at Daytona. While other racing commitments have drawn McKenzie away from the series this season, we hope to welcome him back in the future for more electrifying battles. Meanwhile, Palmer and Williams’ back-to-back P1 finishes in Rounds Four and Five have added structure to their title challenges, further reinforced by a string of podiums and consistently high-quality performances. This is a class that demands attention heading into the finale.
In the DMAX Heavyweight class, Alfie Shrubb appears to be entering his prime. With four round victories already secured, the title looks almost within reach, were it not for Warren Gomm, who sits just 20-points adrift going into the final round. With dropped rounds set to reshuffle the standings, the championship is far from decided. If Shrubb can maintain his recent form, a SuperChamps title is firmly within his grasp, but he will need to fend off the consistent threat posed by Gomm, Yaseen Khan, and Sam Roy, all of whom have challenged strongly throughout the season. Mikhail Sitnikov and William Tidman also deserve recognition; each has claimed a race win and an additional podium, and while missed rounds have hindered their title prospects, both could yet play the role of disruptor in the season finale.
Daytona Milton Keynes
In the SODI Lightweights at Daytona Milton Keynes, Lewis Bowey has been a commanding presence throughout the season. He is yet to finish a round without a podium, a remarkable level of consistency that has earned him a healthy lead heading into the finale. Sitting second in the standings is Dominic Fleming, whose campaign has been defined by several standout performances, including pivotal victories in Rounds One and Seven. That late-season win raises the question of whether the penultimate round could signal Fleming’s rise and Bowey’s undoing. Realistically, such a turnaround remains unlikely. However, motorsport has a habit of defying logic, and with drop rounds yet to be applied and a full field awaiting in the final, Bowey cannot afford complacency. A host of determined young talents lie in wait, including Jacob Kent, Adrian Modzelewski, and Aston Tempany-McColmm, all capable of disrupting the established order and removing either Bowey or Fleming from the podium when it matters most.
The SODI Heavies has seen the return of a familiar name this season, with Andrew Strike rejoining the SuperChamps fold. A driver etched into the history of Daytona Milton Keynes as both a championship contender and endurance stalwart, Strike’s comeback was emphatic. In Round Three, he delivered a near-perfect homecoming with a maximum 61-point haul, a performance he repeated in Round Five with an identical score. Despite Strike’s standout victories, the bulk of the season’s accolades belong to Barry Morris, who currently leads the championship standings. Without drop rounds applied, Morris sits atop the table despite missing Round Three, a feat made more impressive by the fact that the drivers in positions two through four have all contested every round. Wins have been well distributed in this class, with two apiece for Strike and Morris, one for Charlie Fenton, currently second overall, and one for Ben Paines, whose inconsistency has been the primary obstacle to a sustained title challenge. Adam Pughe claimed the most recent victory, and with drop rounds applied, his championship prospects improve considerably. The final outcome remains finely poised and will be settled only when the chequered flag falls in the last round.
The DMAX Lightweights features a roster of names well known within the Daytona community. James King set the early pace with back-to-back victories in the opening two rounds, winning every race he entered across two formats. Over those rounds alone, King secured five individual race victories, a statistic that underlines his dominance when present. In fact, he has won every round he has competed in bar one. Having missed two rounds, which will be scrubbed from the standings when drop rounds are applied, the final presents an opportunity for King to maximise points in a bid to add another SuperChamps title to his already extensive collection. Ignoring drop rounds, however, Dawid Sniezko currently leads the championship. Having defeated King in Round Three and followed that up with further victories in Rounds Four and Seven, the title is just within his grasp if the stars align. While King and Sniezko have largely monopolised the top step of the podium, the depth of talent in the class has been a clear highlight of the season. Jacob Csepreghi and Charlie Csepreghi have both graduated from SODI machinery into DMAX this year, and their rookie campaigns have been highly impressive, each securing multiple podium finishes. Freddie Burden and Freddie Jenkins have also enjoyed strong seasons; Burden currently sits second in the standings, his title challenge built on a foundation of early P2 finishes, while Jenkins remains just outside the top five after several strong rounds, including two second-place finishes.
In the DMAX Heavyweights, Ashley Mayston-King has delivered one of the most dominant campaigns across all venues and classes this SuperChamps season. From the six rounds he has contested, he has won every race, three of them with perfect scores that included fastest lap bonus points. His consistency has effectively settled the fight for the championship, shifting focus to the battle for the remaining podium positions. Behind him, Josh Hamilton and Antony Wypych occupy second and third respectively, regularly trading silver and bronze as the season has unfolded. Myles Bate remains firmly in contention for those final podium places, while cameo appearances from Arthur Langley, Peter Stockwin, and Agastya Lahkar have added further intrigue, each making the most of limited outings to secure podium finishes.
Daytona Tamworth
The N35-ST Lightweight class has delivered a veritable feast of racing for spectators at Daytona Tamworth. Three drivers, in particular, have stood out, each racking up multiple P1 finishes across the season. Joseph Smith, the current championship leader, has been joined at the front by Harry Fitch, who sits second in the standings, and Brandon Barker, who despite claiming three emphatic victories, currently occupies fifth overall. With drop rounds yet to be applied, Barker remains very much one to watch as the championship reaches its conclusion. While these three frontrunners have monopolised every race win this season, the remaining podium positions have been shared among a wide array of competitors, underlining the depth and quality of the field. Drivers such as Grace Lee-Davis, Theo Laverty, Rory Oldfield-Kelly, and Reuben Potter have all featured prominently throughout the year. Heading into the final round, the championship remains wide open. This season has been a clear reminder that individual race victories do not always translate into overall success. Championship glory is earned through patience and consistency, this series is a marathon, not a sprint.
The N35-ST Heavyweight class, by contrast, has been marked by greater consistency at the front. James Holliday, James Stevenson, and Harrison Fisher have claimed the lion’s share of podium finishes and currently occupy the top three positions in the standings heading into the finale. Holliday enters as the class favourite, having secured victories in all but two rounds. With drop rounds set to remove those outliers, he could finish the season with a near-perfect points record if the finale goes to plan. The remaining race victories have been split between Harrison Fisher and Dan Seager. Seager’s season has been particularly strong, his title ambitions curtailed only by missed rounds, though he has claimed a podium in every race he has contested. Caelan Wilson has also enjoyed a consistent campaign, scoring solid points throughout the season, but a handful of below-par results have left him just outside the top three. A strong final round, however, could yet see him challenge for a championship podium.
In the DMAX Lightweights, Jude Lillyman is all but confirmed as SuperChamps champion. With victories in every round so far, his position at the top of the standings has rarely been under threat. Attention now turns to the battle for the remaining podium positions, contested by Nihal Joye, Leo Jackson, Will Kenny, and Joseph Simcock. Each has secured individual race wins and round podiums, and with fewer than 60-points separating second through fifth, the fight remains finely balanced. While Lillyman appears untouchable at the top, the full championship podium is far from decided.
Meanwhile, the DMAX Heavyweights have produced some of the closest and most intriguing battles of the season. Kieran Glover currently leads the standings despite having claimed just one round victory, highlighting the importance of consistency. Every driver in the class has stood on the podium at some stage, from Sonny Zacharias’ dramatic perfect score in Round Two, to McKenzie Senior’s late entry in Round Three and subsequent domination, and James Estrop’s Round Seven cameo that earned a P3 finish. This class, more than any other, illustrates the significance of drop rounds. While Glover’s lead appears secure at first glance, the application of two drop rounds dramatically reshapes the championship picture. McKenzie Senior’s rise now looks almost inevitable, with a victory in the final round leaving no room for rivals to challenge for the title. The battle for second and third remains unresolved, with the key question being whether Glover or Zacharias will emerge as P2 on the final championship podium.
