Round 4 Event Preview

On Saturday 9 August, Trackday Championship (TDC) heads to Oulton Park for Round 4 of the 2025 season. With the standings closely poised following our recent meeting at Donington Park, hopes are high for an enthralling race in Cheshire.

The upcoming Round 4 marks the midway point of the current TDC season. It’s been another year of gripping on-track action and expectation is for this to continue on one of the most picturesque circuits that the UK has to offer.

Oulton Park’s International circuit layout includes a mix of challenges for competitors to contend with, including: two chicanes, a banked corner and plenty of undulation throughout its 2.69mile configuration. Cascades and Brittens are particular highlights of a track that offers many.

After a tremendous drive last time out, Abbitt Motorsport’s Dan Abbitt now paves the way in both the overall and Class C TDC standings. Motion Motorsport’s Nicole Drought and Stephen Docker (Independent) lead the charge in Class B and Class D respectively, with just six points currently separating the top three in the standings!

All three of the afore-mentioned teams are amongst the Oulton Park entry and will be aiming to maximise their points hauls.

There are plenty of other competitors who will be hoping to secure class wins and big points hauls for themselves though, including Swaffer Racing’s Matt Swaffer – who has already recorded two impressive podium finishes this year. Fresh from their first overall TDC victory last time out, Clubracer’s Wright/Glover are also back on the grid and will be hoping to replicate their Donington Park success.

Amongst the range of Class C and D challengers, Wayne Cockerill (Aindale Racing) and Steven Orant (STAL Powered for Racing) will both be looking to record strong performances to stake their claims on another class podium trophy.

The last time Oulton Park hosted TDC, in 2023, the Motion Motorsport Civic recorded a well-fought overall victory, with drivers Roberts and Heath behind the wheel. Will Drought be able to follow in their footsteps, or will it be another team that secures the top step of the Class B podium?

We can’t wait to find out!
