Jason Pritchard is the 2026 Protyre Motorsport UK Asphalt Rally Champion, after a thrilling battle on the Hills Ford Stages.
It’s the fourth time that Jason has won Britain’s premier asphalt rally title, having lifted the BTRDA trophy in 2018, 2019 and 2021.
Co-driven by Phil Clarke, Jason used all his championship-winning experience to ensure a maximum points finish in his Pirelli-shod North Road Garage/Guttercrest Toyota GR Yaris Rally2 to clinch the title on the final round.
Jason finished second overall on the event, 15 seconds behind the unregistered Callum Black/James Aldridge (Fiesta Rally2).
Brad Cole arrived at the Hills Ford Stages leading the series but retired his Hydroline Solutions Fiesta Rally2 after clipping a bank on SS10, having led the event for most of Sunday morning.
Despite the non-finish, Brad wins a test in a M-Sport Puma Rally1 – having ended the series as top-placed Fiesta Rally2 finisher, just one point ahead of Aled Wyn Morgans.
The Aberystwyth Motorsport driver finished a career-best second in the Protyre Asphalt standings on the Hills Ford Stages, but needed a maximum points finish to secure the exclusive private test at the M-Sport Evaluation Centre.
John Stone/Rhys Stoneman clinched the final Protyre Asphalt podium spot after a great run in their Legend Performance Engineering/Legend Fires Volkswagen Polo GTI R5.
