Littlewood breaks into Autosport National Rankings top five

Radical Cup UK talent Marcus Littlewood has moved into the top five of the Ryan Motorsport Insurance Autosport National Rankings courtesy of three more wins at Donington Park.

Littlewood clinched the Radical title at Donington and moved up seven places to fifth in the Rankings, to make him the highest-placed mover this week.

But with the curtain falling on the 2025 series at the Leicestershire circuit, that appears to give Littlewood little chance of improving on his 13 victories this term and moving closer to Rankings table-topper Ali Bray, whose 20 wins is still well beyond anyone else.

The Rankings is a table compiled on the simple premise of race wins in UK and Irish racing across the season, with every race counting equally.

In the gaggle behind Littlewood, there is a considerable amount of movement, with Tyler Read’s brace of Legends wins at Snetterton surprisingly amounting to only a three-position move up the table to seventh.

At Silverstone, Jonathan Moore continued his domination of the secondary class in the Porsche Sprint Challenge GB. He took a double win, but missed out in the red-flagged second race where the result was declared at just one lap. Nevertheless, Moore makes progress up eight places to ninth.

One spot below him is Matthew Highcock. He scooped the BMW 116 Trophy race at Croft, but because of the multiple winners around him in the table he has actually dropped one position to 10th.

Rocketing into the top 50 at 11th is Mark Smith. The American was on invincible form at Donington in the GT Cup, taking a clean sweep of all four races in his McLaren 720S GT3 to re-enter the table at 11th.

Jack Robinson was another to have a fantastic weekend, and is the best of three successive climbers to have been in action over the Classic Sports Car Club meeting at Thruxton. The Jaguar Championship star not only took a double win in his ‘main’ series, but also wheeled his XK8 out for the Modern Classics race and added a class victory in that. As a result, he rises 23 places to 13th.

Niall Bradley is an inveterate top gun in the BMW Championship, and he scored one overall win and an additional class success at Thruxton to surge 29 positions to 17th.

Also in CSCC action at the Hampshire speedbowl was Connor Kay, who handled his TVR Tuscan to honours in one of the Swinging 60s races, and moves up 13 spots to 18th.

The other upwards mover in the top half of the table is seasoned MX5 Cup campaigner Ben Short. Unusually, he won just one of the three races at Croft, but that was enough to propel him up 11 spots to 22nd in the Rankings.

Ryan Motorsport Insurance Autosport National Rankings

Here’s your data formatted into a clean table:

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.
