What a way to finish the 2026 National Series!
Our final round of the season took us to a new club for the first time and what a fantastic welcome we received. From the moment we arrived, the team couldn't have been more friendly and helpful, the venue was superb and the track provided some brilliant, fast racing throughout the meeting.
A huge thank you to the whole club team for having us, and to every driver, mechanic, family member and supporter who travelled to join us for the final National of 2026. It was a fantastic way to bring the series to a close.
Special thanks also go to Thomas Bailey, Noah Bailey and Iain Roper for taking care of scrutineering throughout the meeting.

🏁 Bailey & Bates Go Straight Through
After some incredibly competitive qualifying, Noah Bailey and Owen Bates emerged as the Top Qualifiers, earning themselves the all-important straight-through places in the final.
And when the final got underway, the pace was seriously quick.
Noah took control and produced a dominant drive, mastering the fast circuit to take the final National victory of the 2026 season.
But there was something even bigger at stake.
Maximum points from the final round secured Noah the result he needed to finish the year at the very top.
🥈 Noah Bailey — 2026 National Points Champion!
Congratulations to Noah Bailey, our 2026 National Points Champion!
His top-points finish at the final round means Noah gets to keep that famous Silver Roof for the 2027 season.
A fantastic achievement at the end of a brilliant National campaign.
Well done, Noah!
🌍 Next Stop: The World Final
The National Series may be over, but there is still some very big racing to come.
Booking for the World Final is now OPEN.
To qualify directly for the World Final, drivers need to finish inside the Top 32 with three National rounds completed.
Not in the Top 32? You can still race!
There will be an additional meeting on the day for everyone who hasn't qualified for the World Final, so we'd love to see as many drivers as possible make the trip and be part of what promises to be a fantastic weekend.
🪖 Golden Helmet — Open to ALL BRCA Drivers
Before the World Final comes another huge prize — the Golden Helmet.
The Golden Helmet takes place on Saturday night and is open to all BRCA drivers.
It's a standalone, single-day championship with qualifying taking place on the day, so you don't need to have competed in the National Series to take part.
Booking is now open on the BRCA website.
Golden Helmet & World Final
