Ginetta recognised the achievements of its teams and drivers across the 2025 season with its annual awards dinner on Saturday evening (25th October).
In the elegant setting of The Queens Hotel in Leeds, the extravaganza saw the Ginetta family swap their race suits and teamwear for black tie attire to enjoy a glorious evening of fine dining, awards-giving and celebrations.
More than 20 drivers and teams from across Ginetta’s domestic and global championships were honoured for their successful 2025 seasons, including seven drivers receiving Ginetta champion trophies for the first time.
The first awards presented were for the Protyre Motorsport Ginetta GT Championship. Class champions Archie Clark, Harry Gamble and Luke Shaw received their silverware, while their closest rivals were also recognised along with Teams’ champions Elite Motorsport.
After heading into the season finale in a three-way fight for title glory, GT Academy champion James Nicholas was honoured alongside Jamie Caudle and Charlie Digby. Rookie victor Sam Shrimpton also took to the stage, as did his chief rivals Shiv Sapra and Allan Wright.
The top three drivers in the Ginetta Junior Championship picked up their end-of-year prizes; Rocco Coronel, Fred Green and Max Cuthbert. R Racing secured their fifth Teams’ title award in six years, as Revie Lake was recognised for his achievements in the Freshmans Cup and Noah Young received the Social Media Award.
The achievements of drivers in the Gebhardt Ginetta Nordic Championship were also highlighted. Andreas Lundin secured the runners-up spoils for the third year in a row, while Erik Bertilsson took home the champion’s trophy in his first season of Ginetta racing.
Kelly Robertson, Ginetta Events Manager: “It was a fantastic evening celebrating the success stories of the 2025 race season. It’s always a joy to bring the Ginetta family together and see everyone enjoy themselves away from the pressures of the race weekends.
“It was brilliant to see so many drivers and teams recognised for their great achievements across the season. Thank you to our awards dinner sponsors Pirelli and Corbeau for their support, and to David Addison for a great job hosting proceedings.”
There is one more Ginetta champion still to be crowned this season, with the Ginetta Junior Winter Series coming up next weekend (01-02 November) at Silverstone. A full preview for that event will be published on Ginetta.com in the coming days.
