With just two events of the 2025 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship remaining, the series returns to Silverstone this weekend (20/21 September), where championship battles will intensify at the legendary venue that first welcomed the UK's premier motorsport series back in 1959.

The Northamptonshire circuit holds particular significance for WSR, having been the scene of their debut race win in 1981 and their first BTCC success in 1998. Now Jake Hill, Charles Rainford, Aiden Moffat and Daryl DeLeon all aim to add to the reigning champions' long list of successes at the venue aboard their BMW 330i M Sports.

Hill, who has three victories so far in 2025, has been one of the outstanding performers on the 1.6-mile National layout in recent times with race wins in each of the past four seasons and eight top-five finishes from his last 13 starts there.

The Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport BMW driver currently sits fifth in the championship, but is within touching distance of a top-three spot and looking to build on recent momentum.

One of the most hotly contested battles of this campaign is the fight for the Jack Sears Trophy. WSR's DeLeon and LKQ Euro Car Parts Racing with WSR's Rainford sit atop the standings. Only Sam Osborne and Dexter Patterson remain within mathematical reach, sitting 45 points and 101 points behind DeLeon with 120 still available.

Their BMWs have been near-inseparable in the title fight across the season, but a triple class win for the #2 last time out at Donington Park has edged the Anglo-Filipino into a 14-point lead over Rainford with six races to go.

DeLeon, who is based in Cambridgeshire, scored his first BTCC points finish at Silverstone in 2023 and is aiming to use his upturn in form since the summer break to build his advantage still further.

Rainford, who has four Jack Sears Trophy race wins to his name in 2025, has never competed in the BTCC at Silverstone as he is in his rookie season. The Sussex racer, however, was victorious at the circuit last year in the Carrera Cup GB support event.

His LKQ Euro Car Parts Racing with WSR team-mate, Moffat, was a winner at Silverstone in 2018 and produced one of the drives of his career the following season as he stormed from 29th on the grid to second place in a wet race.

The Dalkeith racer is just six points away from a top-10 position in the standings and is targeting a strong weekend as he aims to complete the season in his best championship position since 2021.

Jake Hill, Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport: "After narrowly missing out on the podium places at Donington, where we showed some great pace all weekend, we head to Silverstone looking to go that next step further and challenge for those results we know we can achieve with the pace we have worked so hard to find. Silverstone is always a highlight of the calendar, and we have had some fantastic results here spanning all the way back to 2021! We will be giving it everything this weekend to be battling at the front, and I can’t wait to hit the track."

Charles Rainford, LKQ Euro Car Parts Racing with WSR: “We’re at the business end of the season now and I have two main targets; to make sure I finish in the top 10 of the overall championship and to get back ahead in the Jack Sears Trophy. Ultimately it’s one non-finish for Daryl and we’ll be more or less level-pegging it, which should make it a great battle. I won at Silverstone in the Carrera Cup GB last year so it should be a fairly straightforward adaptation to the rear-wheel-drive BMW here. Let’s see how we go.”

Aiden Moffat, LKQ Euro Car Parts Racing with WSR: “It’s always good to come back to a track where I’ve won before in the BTCC, but if anything, the memory of the wet race, where I came through from the back to the podium, is even stronger. It’s been a strange second half to the season because the BMW has always felt good, we’ve just had some things go against us, like the timing of the rain in Donington qualifyin. If everything goes to plan, there’s no reason not to have a good event.”

Daryl DeLeon, WSR: “Things have really accelerated for me since the summer break. My qualifying and race results have been better as we’ve dialled in the BMW on a more consistent basis and I’ve managed to build my lead in the Jack Sears Trophy over Charles. I think it’s a battle that’s going to go the distance, so I have to make sure I keep stacking up the points at Silverstone while also trying to stay in the top 10 in the overall championship.”
