McLeish is new leader of Autosport National Driver Rankings
Freddie Slater, the dominant driver in the Ginetta Junior series, has relinquished his top spot in order to compete in Formula 4. Despite losing his position on Autosport’s leaderboard, Slater secured the Junior title as his closest competitors failed to score enough points. Scottish driver McLeish, who had been in third place, moved to first after winning two races at Knockhill. Despite having the same number of victories as Slater, McLeish took the lead due to a higher average number of starters in his races. Other contenders in the top 10, such as Romanek, Hills, Foden, and Lettis, missed the opportunity to improve their positions. Michael Cullen enjoyed success in the Irish Stryker races, moving up to fifth place with 14 wins. Luke Reade’s two victories in the Ginetta GT championship earned him the title and ninth place on the leaderboard. Nick White’s hat-trick in the Ginetta GT Academy races propelled him to 12th place, overtaking his main rival. Peter Barrable’s performance in the Irish Legends category improved his ranking from 22nd to 15th. Tom Mills extended his dominance in the GB4 championship with two more victories, becoming the champion and moving up to 18th place. The rankings include all car races in the UK and Ireland, excluding qualification/repechage, consolation, and handicap races. Only class wins with a minimum of six starters are counted, and only classes divided by car characteristics are included. Overall wins take precedence in case of ties, and the average grid size for a driver’s wins determines the order in case of further ties.
