Present before the Court:
• Mr Callum Eason( Driver of Truck 26) and Mr Wayne Eason( Team Principal of WDE Motorsport), the Appellant
• Mr Marcus Lovell( Representative) and Mr Jamie Horner( Instructing Solicitor), appearing on behalf of the Appellant
• Mr Nick Bamber and Ms Sian Woolley, appearing on behalf of Motorsport UK

1. This is the Appeal of WDE Motorsport against the Decision of the British Truck Racing Championship Stewards dated 11th December 2025.
2. The facts giving rise to this Appeal are that the truck entered by the Appellant, numbered 26 and driven by Callum Eason in the Championship round at Brands Hatch on 2nd November 2025 came into contact with the truck entered by J. Evans Trucksport, numbered 10 and driven by Jake Evans while negotiating Clearways corner. Truck 10 spun and came to a halt in the gravel. Truck 26 continued. The race was stopped by a red flag.
3. Once Truck 10 had been recovered it took up position at the rear of the grid on which Truck 26 also appeared. Both trucks completed the formation lap and took the re-start from the pit lane, although Truck 26 was delayed while damage was repaired.
4. The contact between Trucks 10 and 26 was reported by the Clerk of the Course to the Stewards who considered the matter and determined that Callum Eason was responsible for causing the collision. Regard was given to the fact that this was the final Round of the Championship such that the penalty imposed was but a Reprimand with the two mandatory penalty points.
5. The Stewards on that Hearing had available to them the TV feed and the circuit CCTV but, for reasons which are unclear, the recordings from each truck were not available.
Once they were available, the Appellant sought and obtained a Review of that Decision.
6. The Stewards reconsidered the matter on 11th December and on this occasion viewed not just the recordings they had seen on their previous hearing but also five additional video recordings from the two trucks.
7. Their Decision, however, remained unchanged in respect of both liability and penalty. It is against that Decision that this Appeal lies.
8. Mr Lovell refers the Court to Championship Regulation 2.13.3. This regulation has three elements( the first two of which are relevant here) and provides under the heading
“ Overtaking” that:“ In general, the onus is on the overtaking truck to pass safely – the Driver should not expect the truck in front to give-way if the truck attempting to overtake has not gained( without contact) sufficient overlap. Sufficient overlap will usually be deemed to be that the front axle of the truck attempting to overtake is ahead of the rear axle of the truck being overtaken.
If a truck has sufficient overlap on entering a corner, then the truck being overtaken must give enough‘ racing room’. The overtaking truck must be completely clear of the overtaken truck before attempting to pull back in front.
A truck about to be lapped should allow the faster truck to pass at the first realistic opportunity and should not attempt to‘ race’ the faster truck.”
9. Mr Wayne Eason states in evidence that his team was eight points ahead on entering this final race of the Championship and that all that was required to win the Championship was for Callum Eason to simply finish the race, regardless of position. Immediately prior to the start of the race a reverse grid was announced which moved Callum from Pole to last. Notwithstanding this Callum made his way up to second place behind Evans’ Truck 10. In attempting to overtake Evans’ truck, there was contact.
