Kent-based Un-Limited Motorsport with Duckhams Racing endured an extraordinary debut year following a season-best performance during the final weekend. What started as a mere idea less than 12 months ago has quickly evolved into a competitive force in the paddock.

Daryl DeLeon, driver of the #18 Cupra Leon, closed out the first contest with the teams’ best result of the year with a seventh-placed finish.

Taking on the medium tyre for the second race of the day put the year one team on the back foot with the assumption of a dry end to the day. This resulted in a 13th place finish in the second bout, still accumulating points.

The final race of the day saw the rain fall, creating a greasy surface around the 2.43-mile GP circuit. As the conditions worsened it steered the #18 Cupra Leon out of its setup window to round out 2024 with a 17th place finish.

Dave Tyson, Team Manager, said: "The final round of the season gave us a fantastic opportunity to showcase both the car's pace and Daryl's skill right from the start. Despite being in a difficult group, the car’s speed was evident, and we achieved a team and driver-best qualifying result of 8th.

“In Race 1, we made the right call by opting for the soft tyre, which helped us capitalise on our starting position. The car’s race pace was strong, allowing us to battle with the top group and finish with a season-best seventh.

“Race 2, however, was more challenging. We chose the medium tyre, while many of the faster cars behind us were on softs. This meant we lost some positions, but the car still showed good pace, and we brought it home in 13th, adding more points to the board. 

“Race 3 was a gamble and a battle of endurance as the weather turned, with consistent drizzle making the track greasy. Wet tyres were the obvious choice, but unfortunately, Daryl didn’t get the feeling we needed from the car, and we finished outside the points.

“Overall, 2024 was a great season for the team. We progressed throughout the year, not only in terms of performance but also in building the structure of the team. Now, we look ahead to 2025, where our focus will be on signing the right drivers and securing commercial sponsors to help us compete even higher up the grid.”
