BRDC Young Driver of the Year
Autosport Awards
On 29 January 2025, Deagen Fairclough was crowned the 2024 Silverstone Autosport BRDC Young Driver of the Year. His prize was thoroughly deserved after he achieved a record in-season 14 race wins in the 2024 ROKiT British F4 Championship Certified by the FIA, breaking the record for the most race wins in a single season, a record previously held by Hitech’s 2022 champion, Alex Dunne.
It was the ROKiT Rising Star e-sports competition that allowed Fairclough the opportunity to race with Hitech in the British F4 Championship. The competition launched in 2022 with the aim of finding a young sim racer to driver in a fully funded entry in the championship. He also won the 2024 Silverstone Autosport BRDC Young Driver of the Year award.
