The championship battle for the IRC crown reached its dramatic climax as Stibbs delivered a stellar performance to secure the title in a tense season finale. Despite missing a round and facing a difficult outing in the third race, the Hi-Tec Motorsport driver showcased immense resilience to claim two victories, capped off by a commanding display in the final enduro to seal his maiden championship.
The road to glory was fraught with tension for the championship leader. In Race 1, Stibbs relinquished the lead to Danny Stutterd in the final ten minutes after suffering a braking issue shortly after the compulsory pit stop cycle. Advised to stay out and salvage points, Stibbs nursed his car home to finish second, safely managing a 9.7-second deficit behind Stutterd at the checkered flag.
Meanwhile, the Hi-Tec Motorsport sister entry driven by Blake Tracey endured a frustrating weekend. Having qualified on the front row, Tracey was forced into the pit lane on the opening lap due to a rear suspension failure. Although the team got him back out, extreme track temperatures triggered a limp-mode state, ending Tracey's race prematurely in the sweltering heat.
Mental fortitude became the ultimate deciding factor as ambient temperatures soared, causing severe discomfort up and down the grid. Yet Stibbs bounced back swiftly in Race 2 to secure a solid victory, before executing a masterclass in the final enduro to fend off all pressure and claim the championship honours in style.
In the support categories, Emily Caccaviello stole the spotlight in just her second year of circuit racing. Securing the SD class title for the IRC model without driver aids, the young talent capped off her stellar campaign by confirming a major step up into GT4 competition aboard a BMW in the near future.
