William Creighton and Liam Regan added the Probite British Rally Championship to their list of titles at the Lewis and Hunter Cambrian Rally. It was Max McRae who claimed the rally win in spectacular fashion, adding the family name to the top step of a British Rally Championship event for the first time in 27 years. McRae and co-driver Cammeron Fair took the win from the hands of Romet Jürgenson and Siim Oja on the very last stage. Meirion Evans and Dale Furniss rounded out their season with third place. Creighton and Regan finished fourth which was enough to seal the 2025 title. The Junior British Rally Championship was also decided, with Kyle McBride and co-driver Darragh Mullen taking the title after a season-long battle with Joseph Kelly and Killian McArdle.

Final Championship Positions

Following from Anglesey a fortnight earlier, anticipation was high for the Championship’ s final day at Castle Combe – with nearly every position in the top-12 still in flux— including the overall title race between Pete Goulding and Steve Broughton. Qualifying passed without major incident, with the crucial scoring run-off immediately after lunch. Grahame Harden delivered a stand-out drive, a new record and beating several single-seaters, while 2025 champion Chris Jones failed to finish after a drivetrain component came loose. Goulding, hungry for a second title, set a new record to win the run-off. Broughton, quick but cautious, settled for a safe third. That left Goulding one point ahead in the table, both drivers dropping third-place scores. in the final run-off Broughton really pulled everything out of the bag – beating the long-standing record by over five seconds, with a time that was just a tenth behind Goulding’ s first run-off time. That was the target to beat and as Goulding launched off the line … but disaster struck and he arrived at Quarry with only three wheels in contact with the ground. It was‘ run over’ and Goulding was second overall, despite taking the fight right to the wire after 38 run-offs. Steve Broughton, a long-time British Sprint Championship supporter, had finally etched his name onto the trophy.
