National Driver Rankings: Frederick enters top 10 after British F3 success

As all non-elite motorsport has been suspended amid the second nationwide lockdown in England, just the British GT finale meeting at Silverstone took place last weekend.

Carlin driver Kaylen Frederick was crowned BRDC British F3 champion in Northamptonshire after dominant victories in the first and third races - and those wins have also allowed him to climb the winners' table.

The American has now claimed nine wins in 2020 and that has moved him up 15 places to 10th. The only other driver to rise up the leaderboard this week was Porsche Sprint Challenge GB competitor James Dorlin.

Like Frederick, he also sealed the title at Silverstone but the Cayman racer added just one further triumph as Theo Edgerton took his maiden win in the other contest. That seventh victory has taken Dorlin from 44th to 27th - but, if he had won both races at the finale, he would now be 14th.

There is due to be just the one event again this coming weekend - the British Touring Car Championship season-closer at Brands Hatch - but this could have a significant impact on the rankings.

Porsche Carrera Cup GB dominator Harry King could move to fourth if he takes another double victory, while British Formula 4 title contenders Zak O'Sullivan and Luke Browning and Ginetta Junior points leader Bailey Voisin all already feature in the top 50.

Leading BTCC contenders Colin Turkington and Ash Sutton could also appear in next week's table - if BMW driver Turkington takes two wins, he would rise into the top 20, while a brace for Sutton's Infiniti would put him into the top 40.

Autosport's most successful national racers so far in 2020

All car races in UK and Ireland are included except qualification/repechage, consolation and handicap races. No races in other countries. Class wins are only counted when there are at least six starters in the class.

Only classes divided by car characteristics are included. Classes divided by driver characteristics such as ability, professional status, age, experience (for example rookie or pro-am classes) are not included.

Where there is a tie, overall wins take precedence. Where there is still a tie, average grid size for a driver's wins determines the order.
