LLANILAR racing driver Xander Hughes finished third overall in the 2026 Daniel Ricciardo Series (DRS125) Championship after a strong season finale at Silverstone.
The final rounds took place over the Halloween weekend, bringing the national karting season to a close. Competing in the high-speed 125cc class, Hughes produced consistent performances throughout the year to secure a place on the championship podium.
His father, Michael Hughes, said: "Securing third place in the overall standings at a venue like Silverstone is a fantastic way to end the season.
"The DRS125 grid is packed with talented drivers from across the country, so earning a place on the championship podium is a great reward for Xander's hard work, commitment and determination all year."
The Daniel Ricciardo Series, backed by the former Formula 1 race winner, is one of the UK's leading karting championships. Hughes' third-place finish marks another significant milestone as he looks ahead to next season.
