Ethan Sparks is your 2025 R&G British Talent Cup champion after grabbing P2 in the final race of the season. Sparks took the title by 13 points from Filip Surowiak, who ends the year second in the standings after clinching the final win of the season in Race 3. Ryan Frost claimed the final spot on the podium, finishing third in Race 3 and inside the championship standings. It was the perfect end to an incredible season, which saw five different race winners.
It was a frantic start to Sunday, with Mason Foster holding the advantage at Turn 1 before Sparks and Frost got to work, stealing the advantage from the #88 on the opening lap of Sunday. Surowiak also began to make moves, forcing Dunabie down to P5 in his quest to secure the maximum 25 points available. The #75 set the fastest lap in the process, entering the podium positions on Lap 3.
A huge lead group formed in the opening stages, with Surowiak leading from Frost and Sparks at half race distance. Jack Burrows was also showing pace mid-race, with the #16 dragging Mackay and McPhee with him to keep tabs on the front group. Frost and Surowiak traded moves, with the Oulton Park crowd treated to some incredible racing to round off the season.
In the closing laps, Jensen Bishop (Wilson Racing) suffered a crash at the final corner, bringing an early end to his season. At the front, it was Frost who led the field heading into the final lap, with the #75 pouncing at Turn 3 – stealing P1. It would prove to be a pivotal pass for Race 3 victory, with Surowiak winning in a photo finish!
Surowiak claimed his seventh and final win in 2025, beating Sparks by just 0.020s at the chequered flag. It was the perfect way to end the season as Frost earned third position, finishing his 2025 campaign on a positive note ahead of the winter break. Foster bagged fourth, unable to repeat his Race 2 podium success as Jack Dunabie rounded out the top five. Scott McPhee took his best result of the year in sixth, narrowly defeating Ben Jolliffe, Burrows and Joshua Raymond Jnr as Harrison Mackay took P10 at the flag.
After an incredible season, the 2025 R&G British Talent Cup season ended with a champion crowned. The year was packed with late drama, spectacular overtakes and a final race decider that saw rookie Ethan Sparks lift the trophy. Now it’s time to get set for next year, where things are already taking shape for another unmissable season!
