After nearly 80 years as part of St John Ambulance, The Isle of Sheppey Band ( the last remaining band of its kind in the UK ) has become an independent organisation. This has allowed the band to expand its reach and impact across the island, providing inclusive access to music for children, young people and adults alike. With a strong emphasis on community and intergenerational learning, the band offers a welcoming environment where individuals of all backgrounds can develop musical skills and confidence.

As part of this partnership, the Isle of Sheppey Band will perform at two major Time Attack Organisation events in 2026:

• Brands Hatch Tunerfest South – 14 June (Event 4)
• Brands Hatch Go Japan – 31 August (Event 7)

These performances will place the band in front of thousands of attendees, offering a unique opportunity to showcase their talent while representing the Isle of Sheppey on a national stage.

The Isle of Sheppey Band is local to Club Time Attack’s HQ in Sheerness, Kent and was chosen by its staff as a local cause.

Richard Broster from the Isle of Sheppey Band said: “We’re incredibly proud to be performing at Brands Hatch. It’s an iconic venue, and to be part of such a high-energy event is a fantastic opportunity for the band. Moments like this show just how far we’ve come, and we’re excited to represent the Isle of Sheppey on such an occasion.”  

Alongside this, Club Time Attack will also raise funds for Mission Motorsport, a UK-based charity dedicated to supporting the recovery and rehabilitation of wounded, injured and sick service personnel and veterans. Operating under its powerful motto, “Race, Retrain, Recover,” the charity uses motorsport as a pathway to rebuild confidence, develop new skills and create opportunities for sustainable careers within the automotive industry.

Laura Westrope from Mission Motorsport said: “We’re incredibly proud to be named as a Time Attack supported charity. Motorsport sits at the heart of what we do and partnerships like this give us the chance to reach more people, share our work, and ultimately support more members of the Armed Forces Community as they rebuild their lives beyond service.”

Throughout the 2026 season, a range of fundraising initiatives will contribute to supporting both charities. These include:

• Late payment entry fee penalties, as outlined within championship regulations
• Driver tyre raffles, with tyres generously supplied by Yokohama Tyres
• An end-of-season Club Time Attack raffle
• A headline raffle prize of a full-season driver entry into a Club Time Attack Championship
• Additional fundraising activities introduced across the season

Andy Barnes, Chairman of Club Time Attack, said:
“I am delighted to confirm our Club support for two great charities this season, splitting our support between something local and nationwide. We are in a position to help others via these very simple initiatives through our racing season and I  thank everyone in advance for contributing and playing their part to raise money as best they can. I hope we can hand over significant sums once again ‘’

Club Time Attack is proud to support the Isle of Sheppey Band and Mission Motorsport and looks forward to another successful, safe and enjoyable season.

With limited straight-line running and an increased emphasis on chassis balance and precision, Brands Hatch proved capable of reshuffling the established order. By the end of the day, new winners had emerged, familiar frontrunners had been pushed harder than ever, and several class benchmarks had been lowered around one of the championship’s most demanding layouts.

PRO — Dorward Arrives Late and Takes Control

The Pro category delivered its third different winner in as many rounds as Colin Dorward returned to the championship and immediately established himself as the driver to beat.

Josh Barrett initially set the pace in Attack 1, putting the Barrett Racing Caterham 620R at the top of the timesheets and securing his first session victory of the season. But the picture changed dramatically in Attack 2 when Dorward’s Track Formula Evo arrived at the top of the leaderboard with a 48.121-second lap.

The G-R Performance driver then lowered the benchmark again in Super Attack, producing a 47.883-second lap to secure overall victory and become the third different Pro winner from the opening three events.

Behind him, the Club Pro battle became one of the closest contests of the day. Aleksandr Volkov looked on course to continue his winning streak after leading much of Super Attack, but Dean Taylor found more time in the closing stages to edge ahead and secure his first Club Pro victory of the season.

Volkov remained within striking distance throughout, while Mike Taylor and Ilya Krylov continued their consistent campaigns in a tightly packed Club Pro field.

👉 Key takeaway: Brands Hatch produced another new Pro winner, underlining just how open the 2026 title fight has become.

CLUB CLASS — Fan Survives the Pressure

For the first time this season, Vincent Fan looked genuinely vulnerable.

The Toyota GR Supra driver returned to the top of the timesheets in Attack 1, but the chasing pack was closer than ever. Jonny Fletcher, Ryan Barker, Luke Capehorn and Neil Robson all remained firmly in contention as the margins tightened around the Indy circuit.

Attack 2 delivered the biggest surprise of the day when Capehorn’s Vauxhall Astra dethroned Fan by just 0.025 seconds. Having finally returned to full power with a revised engine package, Capehorn looked poised to take the fight all the way into Super Attack.

Unfortunately, his challenge came to an abrupt end when he failed to complete a representative lap in the final session.

That left the door open for Fan, but victory was far from straightforward.

Neil Robson produced his strongest challenge yet in the BMW 135i, finishing just 0.128 seconds behind the Supra in Super Attack, while Jonny Fletcher completed another impressive performance to finish third.

Ultimately, Fan delivered when it mattered most, producing a 50.985-second lap to secure another Club Class victory despite facing more pressure than at any previous round this season.

👉 Key takeaway: Fan remained unbeaten, but Brands Hatch showed the gap to the chasing pack is continuing to close.

CLUBMAN / POCKET ROCKET / CLASSIC & RETRO — Riley Leads a Day of New Benchmarks

The combined Clubman, Pocket Rocket and Classic & Retro categories once again produced some of the closest competition of the event, with several drivers lowering established Brands Hatch benchmarks throughout the day.

Dean Riley was one of the standout performers of the weekend. The Mickeytoones Racing Vauxhall VX220 topped Attack 1, Attack 2 and Super Attack to complete a clean sweep in Classic & Retro while also finishing as the quickest driver of the combined categories.

Clive Hopwell continued his strong form in Clubman, placing his Volkswagen Golf R at the top of the class in every session and steadily lowering the pace benchmark as conditions evolved through the afternoon.

David Dyson remained his closest challenger throughout in the Ninemeister Porsche, but was unable to prevent Hopwell from securing another Clubman victory.

In Pocket Rocket Naturally Aspirated, Michael Hume’s Honda-powered Renault Clio 182 continued its impressive run of form. Hume topped every session in class and lowered the benchmark pace on multiple occasions during the day.

Pocket Rocket Forced Induction delivered a slightly different story. Gary Papworth led the category through the timed sessions, but Super Attack saw Tommy Langley’s Ford Fiesta edge ahead on outright pace. As a Single Round Entry, however, Langley remained outside the championship classification, leaving Papworth to secure another important class victory.

By the end of the event, new Brands Hatch benchmarks had been established in Classic & Retro, Clubman and Pocket Rocket Naturally Aspirated, underlining just how competitive the field had become.

👉 Key takeaway: Riley, Hopwell and Hume combined outright pace with consistency as several class benchmarks moved forward around Brands Hatch Indy.

Next Stop: Oulton Park

The 2026 Time Attack Championship now heads north to Oulton Park on 4th July as part of Tunerfest North.

With three rounds complete, multiple winners already established and margins continuing to tighten across the field, the battle for championship honours is building momentum heading into the second half of the season.

Across the day, benchmark times continued shifting between sessions as drivers searched for late-session pace in Super Attack, while several categories produced dramatic reversals as conditions and reliability began to influence the outcome.

PRO — Sedzikowski Strikes Late to Take Super Attack Honours

The Pro category produced one of the closest finishes of the entire event as Luke Sedzikowski delivered a late-session turnaround to secure the quickest overall time of the day in the Tegiwa Racing Honda NSX.

Andrew Gallacher initially looked to have established control of the category, topping both Attack 1 and Attack 2 in the AG Motorsport Mitsubishi Evo while steadily lowering the benchmark pace through the afternoon.

But Super Attack completely reshaped the order.

After only appearing in Attack 2, Sedzikowski found significant pace in the final session, producing a 1:07.812 lap to edge ahead of Gallacher by just 0.172 seconds in one of the tightest margins of the day.

Andrew Barbour remained consistently in contention throughout in the AKB Racing Evo IX, while Josh Barrett showed strong early pace in the Caterham 620R before dropping out of the final Super Attack classification.

In Club Pro, Aleksandr Volkov secured a second consecutive class victory in the Nissan R35 GT-R after another composed and reliable performance across the timed sessions.

👉 Key takeaway: Super Attack once again proved decisive, with Sedzikowski delivering the final-session pace to overturn Gallacher’s earlier advantage.

CLUB CLASS — Fan Responds Under Pressure

After dominating proceedings at Cadwell Park, Vincent Fan faced a far greater challenge at Donington Park as the Club Class battle tightened significantly across all three sessions.

Ryan Barker struck first in Attack 1 aboard the Renault K24 Megane, narrowly edging Jamie Hadley and Fan in an incredibly compressed leading group where less than three tenths separated the top three drivers.

Fan responded immediately in Attack 2, reclaiming the top spot before lowering the benchmark once again in Super Attack with a 1:13.843 — the only Club 2WD car to break into the 1:13s during the event.

Neil Robson remained firmly in the fight throughout in the BMW 135i despite the team battling temperature-related issues as the afternoon conditions intensified, while Jonny Fletcher continued his strong progression through the field with another consistent improvement across the sessions.

Barker also remained in contention despite reported crank sensor issues affecting Attack 2, recovering for Super Attack to finish just 0.354 seconds away from Fan’s eventual benchmark pace.

👉 Key takeaway: Donington transformed Club Class into a genuine shootout, but Fan still delivered when the pressure peaked.

CLUBMAN / POCKET ROCKET / CLASSIC & RETRO — Benchmarks Continue to Fall

The combined Clubman, Pocket Rocket and Classic & Retro categories once again produced some of the closest and most varied competition of the event.

Dean Riley delivered another standout performance in the Mickeytoones Racing Vauxhall VX220, leading Attack 1 before returning in Super Attack to secure the quickest overall time of the combined categories.

Clubman, however, evolved into one of the most competitive battles of the day.

Clive Hopwell’s Volkswagen Golf R initially established the benchmark pace and topped Attack 2, but David Dyson steadily closed the gap throughout the event before producing the quickest Clubman lap in Super Attack aboard the Ninemeister Porsche 991.2T.

Michael Hume continued his strong start to the season in Pocket Rocket Naturally Aspirated with the Honda-powered Renaultsport Clio, while Gary Papworth once again controlled Pocket Rocket Forced Induction in the Norfolk Mini Racing Cooper S.

Donington also saw several official Donington Park National class benchmarks lowered during the event, including new reference times in Clubman, Pocket Rocket NA and Pocket Rocket FI.

👉 Key takeaway: As temperatures rose and conditions evolved, the final sessions became a test of who could continue finding pace late into the day.

Next Stop: Brands Hatch

The 2026 Time Attack Championship now heads to Brands Hatch on 14th June as part of Tunerfest South, where the increasingly tight margins seen at Donington suggest the fight for outright pace is only just beginning.

From a damp morning warm-up to increasingly faster afternoon sessions, the day steadily evolved into a battle of outright pace and late-session improvements, with several drivers finding crucial time when it mattered most.

PRO – Griffiths and Gallacher Trade Blows in Tight Pro Fight

The Pro category delivered some of the closest margins of the event as Simon Griffiths immediately established himself as one of the drivers to beat in the V8-powered Ginetta G56 GT.

Griffiths topped the opening Attack session before returning in Super Attack with a 1:27.354 lap that remained the quickest Pro time of the day.

But the pressure increased throughout the afternoon as Andrew Gallacher steadily closed the gap in the AG Motorsport Mitsubishi Evo. Gallacher responded by topping Attack 2 and finished the final Super Attack session only half a second away from Griffiths’ benchmark pace.

Bradley John also remained firmly in contention throughout the day, ending Super Attack less than six tenths from the outright pace in the Riverside Racing Evo IX.

Although Griffiths ended the day quickest overall, Gallacher emerged with the strongest points return among the championship contenders.

In Club Pro, Aleksandr Volkov guided his rebuilt Nissan GT-R through a demanding day where reliability proved critical, remaining in contention throughout the event to secure the class victory.

👉 Key takeaway: Griffiths delivered the headline pace, but Gallacher ensured the Pro fight stayed close all day.

CLUB CLASS – Vincent Fan Dominates on Debut

One of the standout stories of the entire event came from Club Class newcomer Vincent Fan.

Driving the Toyota GR Supra, Fan topped every session across the day — from warm-up through to Super Attack — immediately establishing the car as the benchmark package in class.

Despite Fan’s control at the top of the timesheets, the chasing pack continued edging closer as conditions improved. Luke Capehorn, Neil Robson, Jonny Fletcher and Andrew Kime all remained within striking distance across the timed sessions, keeping the pressure on throughout the afternoon.

Super Attack ultimately saw Fan produce a 1:33.888 to secure the quickest Club Class time of the event, with Capehorn ending the session just 0.357 seconds behind.

Fletcher’s recovery through the day was also notable after a difficult warm-up session left the JDF Racing Astra well down the order before climbing back into contention later in the event.

👉 Key takeaway: Vincent Fan arrived and immediately became the driver everyone else was chasing.

CLUBMAN / POCKET ROCKET / CLASSIC & RETRO – Late Improvements Define the Day

The mixed Clubman, Pocket Rocket and Classic & Retro sessions produced some of the biggest improvements as the track conditions continued to evolve.

Clive Hopwell’s Volkswagen Golf R emerged as the benchmark Clubman package by the end of the day. After a cautious start in the damp morning conditions, Hopwell steadily lowered his times through each session before producing the quickest lap of the combined field in Super Attack.

David Dyson remained in close contention throughout in the Ninemeister Porsche, while Adam Taylor continued improving session-by-session in the Lotus Exige.

Dean Riley delivered another highly consistent performance in Classic & Retro. The VX220 remained near the front across every timed session and topped both Attack runs before narrowly missing out on the quickest overall combined-class time in Super Attack.

In Pocket Rocket NA, Michael Hume’s Honda-swapped Renault Clio continued to improve throughout the day after setting the early pace in warm-up, eventually securing class honours ahead of a closely matched field of Civic challengers.

Gary Papworth controlled Pocket Rocket FI from start to finish in the Norfolk Mini Cooper S, consistently remaining clear of the chasing pack across the timed sessions.

👉 Key takeaway: As the circuit evolved, the final sessions became a battle of who could continue finding time late into the day.

Next Stop: Donington Park

The 2026 Time Attack Championship now heads to Donington Park, where the early benchmark drivers from Cadwell will attempt to defend their advantage as rivals arrive with fresh data, revised setups and unfinished business from the opening round.

FULL EVENT RESULTS:

Time Attack has removed one of the key barriers to entry for the 2026 season, with drivers now only requiring a Motorsport UK RS Interclub licence to compete across all classes.

For competitors in the UK Sprint and Hillclimb scene – where the RS Interclub licence is already standard – the impact is immediate. Drivers who may not have previously considered Time Attack can now enter the championship without upgrading their licence, or compete on a round-by-round basis at circuits of their choice.

The change creates a clear pathway for a sector of the sport already closely aligned with Time Attack. Across Sprinting and Hillclimbing, there are highly developed, performance-focused cars that naturally fit the Time Attack model – both in engineering approach and outright capability. With the licence barrier now removed, that crossover has never been more accessible.

While Sprint and Hillclimb competition is built around point-to-point runs, Time Attack offers a different challenge: multiple timed laps on full circuits, allowing drivers to build pace, refine performance and maximise track time across a session. It’s a format that rewards the same core principles – precision, control and outright speed – but within a circuit environment.

Beyond accessibility, Time Attack also places competitors in front of large trackside audiences, with events taking place at major UK automotive shows including Tunerfest, Modified Live, GO Japan and JDM JAM. Across the season, drivers compete in front of thousands of spectators – adding a level of visibility and atmosphere beyond a typical club motorsport event.

Paul McErlean, Head of Motorsport at Time Attack, said:
“This is an important change for 2026 because it removes a genuine barrier for drivers who already have the right kind of car and experience – making the step into Time Attack far more straightforward.

This is also about giving RS Interclub licence holders the opportunity to step onto premium circuits and compete – using the same licence and the same equipment they already run.

There is a strong overlap between Time Attack and the sprint and hill climb world. Many of those competitors are running exactly the sort of cars that fit naturally with what we do, and now the licence position makes that transition straightforward.”

For drivers looking for a fresh challenge without starting from scratch, Time Attack now offers a clear and accessible next step – combining competitive track action, strong event platforms and a format built around outright performance.

Drivers not yet holding an RS Interclub licence can apply easily through Motorsport UK, with a simple online process and self-declaration medical.

Time Attack Organisation welcomes FUCHS Lubricants as Official Partner

The Time Attack Organisation (TAORG) is pleased to announce a new partnership with FUCHS Lubricants, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of oils and lubricants.

The agreement will see the FUCHS brand represented across all TAORG-run championships and national events, including the Time Attack Championship, Racing Hondas Championship, Drift Pro, and TAORG’s seven major car shows: Tunerfest, Go Japan, Modified Live, and JDM JAM.

Andy Barnes, TAORG Managing Director said:

“I am delighted to welcome FUCHS Lubricants into our organisation as our official partner. I know FUCHS products are widely used by many of the racing teams in our paddock as their oil of choice, making this a highly relevant and natural partnership for us.

This collaboration will help strengthen the connection between what our fans, car club members, and show attendees see performing on track and the products they can confidently choose for their own vehicles. I have personally used Fuchs oils for over 25 years, which makes this partnership both professionally and personally very fitting.”

Russ Kenyon, FUCHS UK Head of Automotive, commented:

“We are extremely excited to be partnering with such a complete and competitive organisation, offering FUCHS a great platform to showcase its comprehensive automotive lubricants range, to a very passionate audience.

The Racing Hondas and Time Attack Championships have great appeal, and I’m excited to get immersed in the increasingly popular car shows.

Here’s to a great season!”

The collaboration will see TyreSafe working alongside Yokohama – a TyreSafe Corporate Industry Partner and a sponsor of the championship – to develop clear, practical tyre safety messaging that can be delivered in an engaging way to competitors, teams and spectators throughout the summer season.

Rather than traditional campaign activity, the partnership will embed tyre safety guidance directly into the high-performance motorsport environment, ensuring advice is relevant, credible and aligned with the performance-driven mindset of Time Attack participants.

A Platform with National Reach

Since being introduced to the UK in 2006, Time Attack has grown into the largest and most professional competition of its kind globally. Built around its “all about the lap time” ethos, the championship challenges drivers to set – and continually improve – their fastest possible lap.

• Approximately 80,000–90,000 spectators across live events
• 44,000 Facebook followers
• 14,000 Instagram followers
• Close to one million social media posts featuring #TimeAttack

Events take place at leading UK motorsport venues including Brands Hatch, Donington Park and Snetterton Circuit, giving the partnership significant national visibility and access to a highly engaged automotive audience.

Stuart Lovatt, Chair of TyreSafe, said, “With tens of thousands of spectators attending events and hundreds of thousands more engaging online, Time Attack provides a powerful platform to reach drivers who care deeply about how their vehicles perform. By collaborating with Yokohama to develop impactful, on-the-ground safety messaging, we can connect tyre safety directly to performance – reinforcing that legal, well-maintained tyres are not just a compliance issue, but a fundamental part of vehicle control.”

Through this initiative, TyreSafe, Time Attack and Yokohama will collaboratively raise awareness around:

• Arriving at events on legal and roadworthy tyres
• The safety implications of under-inflation, damage and insufficient tread
• How tyre condition directly impacts braking, grip and overall vehicle performance
• The legal requirements that apply on the road

Yokohama will deliver tyre safety messaging and technical guidance to visitors and competitors at events throughout the season, supported by TyreSafe’s suite of materials, guidance and expertise on tyre safety.

By aligning tyre safety advice with a performance-focused championship, TyreSafe aims to reach drivers who are highly engaged with vehicle capability and lap times, but who may not always consider the legal and safety implications of tyre maintenance on public roads.

Tom Davis, Head of Events at Time Attack, commented, “Time Attack is built around precision, performance and pushing cars to their limits – but none of that is possible without the right tyres in the right condition. We’re proud to partner with TyreSafe and Yokohama to help educate our competitors and spectators about the importance of legal, well-maintained tyres, for the drive to the circuit. This collaboration allows us to combine performance passion with responsible driving.”

Performance and Safety Go Hand in Hand

While lap times are the focus of competition, tyre condition remains fundamental to both safety and performance. From grip levels and braking distances to heat management and structural integrity, tyres play a decisive role in how vehicles behave – whether on the circuit or on public roads.

This partnership marks another step in TyreSafe’s ongoing efforts to engage new and diverse audiences, ensuring that tyre safety messaging resonates beyond traditional channels and connects with drivers in environments where vehicle performance is front of mind.

TyreSafe and Time Attack look forward to an action-packed summer season, working together to ensure that every journey – to the circuit and beyond – starts on safe, legal tyres.

The Time Attack Organisation is pleased to announce the appointment of Andrew Schofield to its motorsport team.

Andrew will support race weekend operations and competitor engagement across both the Time Attack Championship and Racing Hondas Championship, working alongside Head of Motorsport Paul McErlean to help ensure the smooth and professional delivery of on-track activities throughout the year.

Bringing nearly three decades of hands-on motorsport experience, Andrew has worked across scholarship programmes, championship operations and driver development roles. His background includes running the Vauxhall Vectra Scholarship programme, involvement in the Michelin Renault Clio Scholarship, managing hospitality and sponsor programmes at TOCA events, and instructing at leading race and rally schools including Palmersport.

Since 2013, Andrew has worked with the British Racing & Sports Car Club (BRSCC), coordinating multiple championships. He remains an active race licence holder, most recently competing in the C1 24 Hour Endurance race in May 2025.

Paul McErlean commented:

“I’ve worked alongside Andrew for many years and have always valued his professionalism and competitor-first approach. His operational experience and understanding of how championships function trackside make him a strong addition to our team.

As we continue to develop both Time Attack and Racing Hondas, having Andrew involved in our race weekend structure will help ensure we continue to deliver a consistent and high-quality experience for competitors and teams.”

Andrew Schofield added:

“I’m delighted to be joining the Time Attack Organisation and working with Paul and the existing team. The championships have a strong identity and loyal competitor base, and I’m looking forward to supporting their continued growth and meeting competitors throughout the season.”

Andrew will begin his trackside role at the opening Racing Hondas round of the 2026 season at Silverstone on 5 April.

The Time Attack Organisation – which operates Club Time Attack, the Time Attack Championship, the Racing Hondas Championship, and a portfolio of high-profile car show events – is pleased to announce the appointment of Paul McErlean as its new Head of Motorsport.

Paul joins the senior management team at a time of continued progression for the organisation, as it builds on a long-standing legacy of delivering some of the UK’s most exciting and immersive motorsport events. Paul will oversee all racing activities and lead the motorsport operations into their next chapter.

Paul arrives following the recent news of his departure from the British Racing & Sports Car Club (BRSCC), where he held the position of Chief Operating Officer, overseeing more than 25 race weekends and 20+ championships annually. His extensive experience and deep understanding of the motorsport industry make him a strong addition to the organisation as it continues to evolve and grow its racing portfolio.

Andy Barnes, Chairman of Club Time Attack, commented:

“On behalf of everyone involved in our club and business, I extend a very warm welcome to Paul as he joins the Time Attack family. His industry knowledge, experience and proven track record of delivering successful programmes are well known.

I have tasked him with the overall responsibility for the management, coordination and development of our championships, with the support and resources needed to enhance our offering to drivers, teams, customers and fans. His appointment strengthens our operation and helps ensure we continue to grow our on-track activities.

I’d like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank Carl McKellar and Lee Anne Harper for their commitment, professionalism and contribution to our championships and organisation, and to acknowledge the part they have played in the organisation’s journey.”

Paul McErlean added:

“I’m excited to be joining the Time Attack Organisation and to be working with a team that has such a strong track record of delivering standout motorsport events. My role will be to help build on the strong foundations in place, strengthening and supporting the organisation’s motorsport offering as the championships continue to grow.”

Paul joins the organisation on 9 February 2026, just ahead of the new racing season, and will work closely alongside Tom Davis, Head of Events, to deliver exceptional, interactive motorsport events across the year.

Pictures for editors:

The agreement will see the Probite brand represented across all TAORG-run championships and national car show events, including the Time Attack Championship, Racing Hondas Championship, Drift Pro, and TAORG’s seven major car shows: Tunerfest, Go Japan, Modified Live, and JDM JAM.

Following its recent headline sponsorship of the British Rally Championship, Probite now turns its focus towards the UK’s leading aftermarket motorsport and enthusiast platforms, aligning with both TAORG’s  on and off track activities to reach a broad and engaged performance audience.

As part of the agreement, Probite brake discs and pads will also become the control components for the newest category within the Racing Hondas Championship, the S2000 Cup, ensuring each S2000R is equipped with Probite products.

Commenting on the announcement, Andy Barnes, Managing Director of the Time Attack Organisation, said:

“Probite have been consistent supporters of our car shows over the past three years, and it is great to see that, through experiencing our events and understanding our audience, they have committed to a long-term partnership across the entire TAORG platform.

As a UK manufacturer, our role is to put the spotlight on their products and brand in front of our sizeable and engaged audience, ensuring that when enthusiasts and competitors are making decisions on servicing and upgrades, Probite is firmly on their radar.

Despite being one of the largest braking manufacturers in the country, Probite remains relatively unknown to many due to its extensive white-label manufacturing for other brands. We look forward to amplifying their presence and telling that story.”

Garry Curley, Commercial Manager at Probite, said:

“We’re excited to be coming on board as an official partner of the Time Attack Organisation. This partnership is a big step for us because the cars competing in these championships directly relate to the performance braking products we design and manufacture. It’s a perfect match for what we stand for and gives us the platform to showcase our expertise and innovation to a passionate motorsport audience.

Also, having the fantastic opportunity to become the control braking partner for the exciting new S2000R class within Racing Hondas allows us to reinforce our position as a true British performance braking brand. Motorsport is in our DNA, and working alongside Racing Hondas allows us to connect with enthusiasts who share our passion for precision, performance, and innovation.

We can’t wait to start working with Andy and his great team, to see what the future holds, and look forward to an incredible season ahead.”

£10,410 raised by Club Time Attack for the British Motorsports Marshals Club (BMMC) 

A month ago, the Time Attack Organisation hosted its annual Championship Awards Gala at the Mercure Hotel in Daventry, UK. The evening brought together around 140 members and guests for a black-tie celebration honouring champions from across all club activities.

Throughout the 2025 season, the club ran three initiatives to support this seasons chosen beneficiary, the BMMC:

• A late entry initiative: any driver entering after the round deadlines incurred a surcharge
• Yokohama Tyres donated a pool of tyres which were raffled to drivers at each event
• Gala dinner raffle the first prize of a seasons free entry for 2026

Altogether, we’re pleased to announce an incredible total of £10,410 raised for the BMMC.

Andy Barnes of the Time Attack Organisation comments:
“I am delighted by our final total and thank each and every driver who has contributed this season as well as the great folks at Yokohama tyres for their tyre pool. Through a simple initiative, using our strengths, our club was able to donate 100% of the amounts raised to support the BMMC and its volunteers who keep our beloved sport on track and as safe as possible for all. In addition we provided all-weather marshals ruck sacks, food and race suit patches as part of our 2025 campaign to show support and acknowledge the work of all marshals in the UK, it’s a great result and one which all members of our club are proud of.”

BMMC Chair Chris Hobson said: “This is an amazingly generous donation from the Time Attack team. The BMMC is grateful to accept this contribution to our costs involved in running the only club in the world run by marshals for marshals. BMMC currently has almost 3,500 members providing marshals for all forms of motorsport run under the auspices of Motorsport UK – including the Time Attack Championship.

“Marshals rarely get the recognition they deserve, standing out in all weathers, carrying out duties on and off the circuits at all levels, providing the safety cover essential to enable competitors to enjoy their sport.  Whether it is races, sprints or hillclimbs at a fixed venue, rallies and off-road events at non-permanent venues, club level Auto Solos or international Grand Prix our members give of their time and effort free of charge, purely for the love of the sport.

“This show of appreciation from Time Attack will help us to continue to train and equip our members to support not only their events, but many others around the country.  We are extremely grateful – “Thank You”.”
