Roscrea's Nicole will defend her UK Championship solo

Roscrea Rocket and Ireland's fastest female racer, Nicole Drought has announced her 2025 plans and unveiled her 2025 race car and will return to the MSV Trackday Championship in the EBC Brakes Civic Type R.

This year though, Nicole will drive the races solo, with team mate Justin Roberts taking a year off due to family commitments.

The car, which visited Ireland recently for a complete makeover from Precision Tint and Graphics in County Meath, will also be receiving a few new tweeks from Motion Motrorsport, who will also run the car for the season.

Nicole, who as well as winning the overall title, won the Class B Championship and the Irish Open Clubman Rallycross Championship in 2024 Nicole will once again run with Motion Motorsport and the season starts on March 15th at Snetterton in Norfolk

Stuart Garland, MSVR Championship Manager "“We’re delighted to have Nicole Drought back competing in Trackday Championship again this upcoming year.

Nicole and the Motion Motorsport team proved their winning credentials last season and we look forward to seeing our first ever female Champion look to defend her title in 2025”."

"I'm excited about this season. We improved the car race by race in 2024 and we have a few changes ahead of the '25 season too. I can't wait to race with number 1 on the car", Nicole said.

"It looks fantastic and I can't thank Jay O'Reilly and the team at Precision Tint and Graphics enough. I really enjoyed driving alongside Justin last season and even though he is stepping away this year, he is still hugely supportive. 

"Big thanks, as ever, to Siltex Safety, Gem Oils, Joe Mallon Motors and ITM Digital for their support", the Roscrea racer said.
