Oliver Bryant awarded the Earl Howe Trophy at the BRDC Annual Awards

Thursday 6th February 2025

The BRDC celebrated the successes of its Members, SuperStars, and Rising Stars at its Annual Awards lunch, held at the Pan Pacific Hotel in London on Thursday, 30 January. Less than 300 people were in attendance, including BRDC President David Coulthard MBE, Vice Presidents Sir Jackie Stewart OBE, Howden Ganley, John Grant, and Derek Warwick.

An essential part of the day was to support the BRDC Motor Sport Charity, and, thanks to the generosity of Members and guests, a fantastic £2,360 was raised, helping to assist individuals in the motorsport community during times of need.

Jake Humphrey hosted the event, a role he has undertaken for many years. Proceedings opened with the Special Achievement Award to Oliver Bearman, who broke records with an impressive, last-minute call to race in the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix with Scuderia Ferrari, scoring points and fending off Sir Lewis Hamilton and Lando Norris in the closing stages of the race.

David Coulthard then presented the Earl Howe Trophy to Oliver Bryant to honour his third Peter Auto 2.0L Cup title and stunning performances in the 2024 Goodwood Revival.

Francis Richard Henry Penn Curzon, 5th Earl Howe, was an officer, Member of Parliament, driver, Le Mans winner, and co-founder of the BRDC, as well as being the Club’s President from 1929 -1964. The award is given to a BRDC Member for the most outstanding performance of the year in historic racing, which this year went to Oliver Bryant for his outstanding season, winning his third Peter Auto 2.0L Cup title, with victories at Dijon-Prenois and Circuit Paul Ricard, and being the Goodwood Revival’s Driver of the Meeting.
