Donington Park is up next for the Clio Cup Great Britain Championship, with the circuit's Grand Prix configuration set to host Rounds 7 & 8 of the 2024 season on Saturday 14 September.
Following on from victory in Round 5 and a second-placed finish in Round 6 last time out at Snetterton, Westbourne Motorsport’s Ben Colburn currently heads the championship standings and will be looking to extend his lead at the Leicestershire circuit.
Amongst Colburn’s challengers is Nicky Taylor, who recorded a hard-fought second victory of the season in Round 6. The Graves Motorsport driver narrowly edged Westbourne Motorsport teammates Colburn and Daire Flock to the checkered flag in a sensational finish – with just 0.647s separating the three.
Flock continued his strong start to the season with another double podium finish in Norfolk and the #22 driver will be fully intent on reducing the deficit in the championship standings to Colburn in front at the upcoming meeting.

Clio Cup GB has produced some exhilarating racing over the course of the first half of the season, with the competitiveness of the field made apparent. Two rounds have concluded with less than one second covering the top three finishers, complemented by a plethora of tremendous overtakes and stout defending.
Eager anticipation therefore surrounds this upcoming meeting, with hopes being for more of the same as the championship kickstarts the second half of its inaugural season under the stewardship of MSV Trackdays (MSVT).
Donington Park features all the camber, gradient and undulation that you would expect from a park circuit. Add to this a number of challenging corners and surging straights, as well as a history of producing iconic racing moments like Ayrton Senna’s “Lap of the Gods”, Rounds 7 & 8 provides a mouthwatering prospect.
Poised to be amongst the entry at Donington Park is championship debutant Jack Wright (Westbourne Motorsport). Wright has already expressed his desire to be amongst the frontrunners, making the step up to the championship after enjoying a host of success in other series within MSVT’s racing portfolio.
