2019

The 2023 British Truck Racing Championship has witnessed a season marked by both triumphs and setbacks for MV Truck Racing. Throughout the year, the team has diligently engaged in the meticulous development of their trucks, experimenting with a wide array of configurations and adaptations tailored to the diverse racetracks they’ve encountered.

The crescendo of this season’s competition brought us to the year-end spectacle at Brands Hatch, a renowned circuit in the motor racing world. During the qualification phase, Tom displayed a remarkable performance, setting blistering lap times that resonated with the excitement of the opening round held several months ago at Brands. The key difference, however, is that this time, Tom’s times were legitimate, securing him pole position for the weekend’s initial two races, which unfolded amidst the persistent rainfall on a challenging Saturday.

The first race was a riveting spectacle, with Tom and the eight-time champion, Ryan, locked in an intense contest as they hurtled down the track. The clash was abruptly halted by a red flag incident, necessitating a race restart. In the second iteration, Tom again demonstrated his mettle, distancing himself from the rest of the field. Yet, once more, the race was interrupted by a red flag. Initially, Tom was declared the victor, only for this title to be rescinded due to an insufficient number of laps having been completed. Regrettably, this race was unable to recommence due to time constraints.

The second race on that Saturday witnessed a repetition of the first, as Ryan and Tom grappled for the top position. With only a handful of laps remaining, Ryan managed to overtake Tom, securing the coveted first place for the final race of Saturday, leaving Tom in a commendable second place.

A dramatic twist in the storyline occurred on the subsequent Sunday, as the race organizers, prompted by the incomplete first race, decided to initiate a reverse grid start. This alteration added an extra layer of intrigue to the weekend’s third and fourth races, with the usual contenders fiercely vying for supremacy.

Meanwhile, in Division Two, the heated rivalry between Rivett and Bint took center stage. A mere one-point difference between them fueled a weekendlong spectacle of highly competitive racing, with Rivett eventually emerging as the Division 2 champion.

The culmination of the British Truck Racing Championship weekend was eagerly anticipated, with a capacity crowd witnessing the final showdown. However, a regrettable incident involving Powell and Reid, resulting in a crash, prompted yet another red flag and the unfortunate abandonment of the race before a single lap was completed.

The challenging conditions, including a waterlogged track, made this one of the most compelling and, at times, disappointing weekends in recent memory for the sport’s ardent supporters. We extend our sincere gratitude to our dedicated supporters for their unwavering commitment and look forward to their continued presence at our events in the coming year.
