Congratulations to Upper Sixth student Dev, who has been crowned rookie champion in the 2026 BRSCC Mazda MX-5 Championship, finishing the season as the highest-ranked newcomer in the series.
Dev headed into the final weekend at Silverstone with an impressive 99-point lead in the rookie standings, following a successful season of competitive racing.
The BRSCC Mazda MX-5 Championship is a popular UK motorsport series, with drivers competing in closely matched Mazda MX-5 sports cars. With an emphasis on driver skill, consistency and racecraft, it provides an exciting platform for emerging racing talent.
The season finale took place at Silverstone, one of the most iconic circuits in motorsport. Changing conditions made for a challenging weekend, but Dev successfully secured the rookie championship title.
Reflecting on his achievement, Dev said, “It was a huge privilege to race at such a historic track. It was a tricky weekend adapting to changing conditions, but I managed to come away as the rookie champion at the end of the season, a good achievement to kickstart my racing career.”
And Dev is already looking ahead to his next challenge, with plans to return to the championship next year and compete for the overall title.
“I will be racing in the same championship next year with the goal to be fighting at the front and becoming the overall champion.”
A fantastic achievement and an exciting start to Dev’s motorsport career. Congratulations!
