Fast Time of the Day Award Series (FTD Award Series)
2024 FTD Award Series winner David Tatham driving his DJ Firehawk first track appearance was at the July British Hillclimb Championship, though this was not a Harewood Championship meeting. His first Harewood Championship event was at the Yorkshire Speed Hillclimb meeting.
John Prickett driving his Radical PR6 wins the 2025 Harewood FTD Award Series. David Tatham driving his DJ Firehawk takes second place. This was quite an achievement as he has only competed in four of the eight events, though only the six best scores count for the FTD Award Series.
Mark Hemingway driving the Force TA finishes in joint third place, with Stephen Owen driving a Westfield and Anthony Middleton also driving a Westfield. Mark was not competing this weekend, but his car was being driven by his son Fraser.
