It is all change at the top of the Ryan Motorsport Insurance Autosport National Rankings this week as Ali Bray takes over at the head of a radically altered leaderboard.
Alongside Bray jumping up from second to first, there are four new drivers inside the top 10, while another has moved further up the table after a busy weekend of club motorsport that featured nine race meetings across the UK.
Bray is best known as an ace Mazda MX-5 preparer but has been behind the wheel himself in the British Racing & Sports Car Club's Mk1 MX-5 Championship this year and continued his unbeaten start to the season at Snetterton last weekend, where he bagged another hat-trick.
Those successes have taken his 2025 tally to nine wins already and he is now two clear of previous table-topper Steve Gambrell.
Another driver to move towards the summit is Hillman Imp star James Ibbotson. He picked up another three Pre-'66 Touring Car class triumphs at Pembrey to take his total to seven wins and leap from 22nd to third.
Two other MX-5 frontrunners have also been on the march this week. Aidan Hills picked up a Miata Trophy victory at Brands Hatch in his Mk3 to climb from fifth to fourth.
However, the cancellation of the second race amid barrier damage from an earlier GT Cup clash cost him the chance of progressing further.
Rounding out the Mazda maestros making notable gains is Will Blackwell-Chambers, who topped all three MX-5 Supercup contests at Snetterton to rocket up from joint 46th to sixth.
Sandwiched between the MX-5 drivers in fifth is Paul Sibley, who maintained his strong start to the campaign with another brace of Midget & Sprite Challenge wins at Cadwell Park. These sent him climbing up from joint 11th.
However, there are a couple of drivers who added to their total but actually slipped down the leaderboard, including Connor Kay. He headed Class C in both of the Cadwell Midget & Sprite bouts, but the second of these does not count towards his tally because there were not the required minimum six starters in the division. He therefore actually falls from fourth to seventh.

Alistair Camp is also in a similar position as his sole Civic Cup success at Silverstone could not prevent him from dropping from eighth to ninth.
However, Tyler England - who enjoyed Modified Fords glory at Mallory Park in his Fiesta - does move upwards and enters the table in 10th.
Now knocking on the door of the top 10 is Scottish Legends star Ben Mason, who bagged two wins at Knockhill to rise from 33rd to 11th, while the raft of improvements continued throughout the table.

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, except: when the race is part of a multi-stage event where six or more have taken part in earlier heats that feed into a semi-final or final; when multiple championships are merged in the same race, the ‘overall’ winner from the slower championship can count a class win as long as that championship has at least 10 starters across all classes. Only classes divided by car characteristics are included, not those divided by driver characteristics such as ability, professional status, age, experience (for example rookie or Pro-Am classes). Each race counts only once, so an overall winner’s class win is not added.
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.
