Bob Barron and Phil Wright laid down early championship markers as Racing Hondas kicked off 2026 at Silverstone Circuit.
Class A – Barron dominates with double win
Bob Barron (#27 Civic EG) was untouchable across the weekend, converting pole into a lights-to-flag win in Race 1 before storming from fourth to victory in Race 2.
In Race 1, Barron controlled the pace from the front, setting the fastest lap (1:03.074) and winning by 2.4 seconds.
Behind him, David Buky secured a career-best second after soaking up sustained pressure from Tommy Knight, with just 2.9 seconds covering the top three.
Race 2 followed a similar script. Despite the reverse grid, Barron charged through to the lead on lap one and never looked back, completing a dominant double.
Buky backed up his strong form with another P2, while Ryan Jenkinson delivered the drive of the race – climbing from the midfield to secure a first podium for his Integra DC2.
Key takeaway: Barron leaves Silverstone as the early benchmark in Class A.
Class B – Wright delivers historic S2000 debut wins
Phil Wright (#63 S2000R) made history with a perfect debut weekend for the new rear-wheel-drive Honda, taking two wins from two and setting both lap records.
In Race 1, Wright led from pole and controlled the race throughout, finishing 3.6 seconds clear.
The battle behind was intense, with Sammy Mileham securing second and Lewis Barker inheriting third after a late retirement for Luke Sedzikowski following contact and suspension failure.
Race 2 saw a proper fight. Barker led early before Wright made the decisive move on lap 11 to take control and secure the double.
Mileham completed a consistent weekend with another podium, while Sedzikowski recovered to fourth in a dramatic photo finish – just 0.057 seconds ahead of Danny Weston.
Key takeaway: The S2000R arrives with immediate pace and Wright looks like the man to beat.
