Jamie Chadwick Series – Round Four

Daytona Milton Kyens

The fourth round of the 2026 Jamie Chadwick Series season touched down at Daytona Milton Keynes, with competitors taking on the challenging Cliff Drop & Bus Stop layout. The technical circuit rewards precision and racecraft, offering drivers additional overtaking opportunities while demanding consistency through its increased number of corners. With summer sunshine and ideal track conditions greeting the paddock, the stage was set for another exciting chapter in the championship battle.

First onto the circuit were the Junior and Cadet classes, racing under the Heats format. In Junior Heat One, Daniella McIntosh claimed victory by just a tenth of a second over championship leader Sarah Telford after a closely fought contest. Sophia Christoforou rounded out the podium in third after an impressive drive. The Cadets saw Chloe Van Beneden establish herself as the driver to beat, taking victory by three seconds from Willow Wright, while Valentina Bayliss-Wells secured third place a further five seconds behind.

Heat Two brought a different winner in the Junior category as Christoforou took the chequered flag 1.9 seconds clear of Tilly Watson. Maya Nefzi completed the podium in third place, while Telford continued to score valuable championship points. In the Cadets, Van Beneden made it two victories from two starts, although the margins were far tighter than in the opening race. Just two seconds covered the entire field at the finish, with Wright once again securing second place, only six tenths behind the winner, while Elouisa Flint claimed third.

The Junior Final saw Telford strengthen her championship position with a commanding victory. The championship leader crossed the line two seconds clear of Maya Nefzi, who set the fastest lap of the race on her way to second place. Daisy Bradstock produced one of the recovery drives of the day after a difficult pair of Heats, charging through the field to secure the final podium position. In the Cadet Final, Van Beneden completed a flawless round with a third victory of the day, capping off a dominant performance at Daytona Milton Keynes. Wright once again proved her closest challenger, while Flint added another podium finish to a highly competitive weekend.

The SODI classes then took centre stage. Sarah Telford continued her excellent form from the Junior category in the Shootout, securing victory by three tenths of a second over Scarlett Drury. Last round’s winner Elli Henneman completed the top three. In the Intermediates, Clara Norris delivered one of the most commanding performances of the day, taking victory by ten seconds over Lena Reading, with Sophie Marter a further three seconds adrift in third.

The SODI Final produced one of the most entertaining races of the afternoon. Telford made it two victories from two categories as she emerged victorious after a race-long battle with Nicole Robinson and Drury. While Robinson and Drury fought fiercely over second place in the closing laps, Telford capitalised to build a six-second advantage at the front. Robinson eventually held onto second place, crossing the line just two tenths ahead of Drury after a thrilling finish. In the Intermediates, there were no changes from the Shootout results as Norris once again led Reading and Marter to the chequered flag to complete a perfect day.

The DMAX category rounded out the action at Daytona Milton Keynes. Championship leader Julia Stankowiak laid down an early marker by taking a dominant Shootout victory as she looked to extend her advantage at the top of the standings. Imogen Owen continued her consistent run of form with another second-place finish, while last round’s winner Milena Clark completed the podium despite finishing ten seconds adrift of the leading pair.

The Final followed a similar pattern, with Stankowiak once again proving untouchable. The championship leader secured victory by ten seconds to complete another flawless performance and further strengthen her title challenge. Owen added another podium finish with second place, while Clark once again completed the top three. Chloe McNally narrowly missed out on the podium, finishing just a few tenths behind Clark in fourth after a strong performance.

Round Four proved to be another significant chapter in the 2026 Jamie Chadwick Series season. Sarah Telford strengthened her position at the top end of the standings with victories in both the Junior and SODI categories, while Chloe Van Beneden completed a dominant clean sweep in the Cadets. Clara Norris and Julia Stankowiak were equally impressive in their respective classes, ensuring that the championship battles remain as competitive as ever heading into the next round. Jamie Chadwick Series will return on the 28th June at Daytona Sandown Park where our drivers will take on the Alternate circuit.

Masters League – Round Eight

Daytona Sandown Park

Round Eight of Masters League delivered another competitive evening of racing at Daytona Sandown Park. While several categories featured smaller grids, the racing remained fiercely contested throughout, with a number of drivers converting strong Qualifying performances into race victories.

The SODI Inters class saw Reece Harris secure pole position with a lap of 51.727, narrowly edging Diogo Leal by just over a quarter of a second. The pair appeared closely matched throughout Qualifying and carried that pace into the race itself. Harris converted pole position into victory with a commanding performance, maintaining control throughout the race to finish more than seven seconds clear of Leal. While Harris secured maximum points, Leal left with the class fastest lap, recording a 51.592 to underline the pace he carried throughout the evening.

The SODI Heavies class produced one of the closest contests of the night. Piers Bate secured pole position with a 52.867, while Andrew Sirkett sat just 0.415 seconds behind in second. The pair remained closely matched throughout the event and ultimately delivered one of the tightest class battles of the season. Despite starting second, Sirkett overturned the Qualifying order to secure victory. Remarkably, just one thousandth of a second separated the pair on fastest lap pace, with Sirkett recording a 52.702 compared to Bate’s 52.703. Over the full race distance, however, Sirkett managed to build enough of an advantage to claim victory and class honours.

The DMAX Inters class featured one of the most competitive Qualifying sessions of the evening. Tom Brown secured pole position with a 47.055, but less than eight tenths of a second covered the top six drivers. William Jonkler, Liam Duffett, Charlie Hoffer, Vivek Bhalla and John Reeves all remained firmly in contention, highlighting the depth of pace throughout the field. Brown carried that form into the race, producing a dominant performance to secure victory while also setting the fastest lap of the category with a 46.858. Jonkler remained his closest challenger throughout, following up second place in Qualifying with second place in the race. Duffett completed the podium after maintaining strong pace across the full distance. Further back, Vivek Bhalla delivered one of the standout drives of the evening. Starting fifth on the grid, he worked his way ahead of Charlie Hoffer to secure fourth position at the chequered flag, while Hoffer completed the top five.

In the DMAX Heavies, Jay Peters led the way in Qualifying with a 47.980 to secure pole position ahead of Pawel Kamysz. Despite the smaller field, the pace at the front remained highly competitive. Peters completed a perfect evening by converting pole position into victory while also setting the fastest lap of the race with a 47.809. Kamysz remained his nearest challenger throughout but was unable to prevent Peters from securing the Qualifying and race double.
