Improving every season, his first major championship win the European, came in 2010, the same year that he debuted in the National Points Championship Shootout after making the top twelve in National Points.
In 2011 he won the National Points Championship’s first ever run off to take the last qualifying place when he tied for twelfth place with Paul Hines.

After initially sticking mostly to tarmac, Luke has been seen much more frequently on shale and like in 2011, for the 2012 season Luke has a F1 stockcar for each surface, continually looking to improve his all round performance.
Tom Harris
stats
hometown
Shipston on Stour, Warwickshire
debut year in f1:
2005
championship titles won
European Championship: 2012
National Points Champion: 2012
Tom made the switch from Motocross to motorcars at the age of ten when he first got a ministox that he raced until he reached fifteen years of age. Tom then set about rebuilding an old chassis of his father’s which was the car he debuted in at Kings Lynn in March 2005. In his first race, he was placed ninth after starting at the rear of the grid. Tom’s continued success at racing meant he swiftly moved up the grades and now holds red with ease and is surely on the cusp of great things.
In 2009 Tom was selected for the UK F1 Stockcar team to race in the notorious Team Championship in New Zealand, where they managed to finish an impressive 3rd place. The following year they did one better and finished 2nd.
The 2011 season started well for Tom and his consistent performance on tarmac saw him take the Grading Points Championship in 2011.
2012 saw Tom achieve major championship success with the European Championship and the Venray Gold Cup. Tom also amassed over a hundred more grading points than his nearest rival Frankie Wainman Jnr. At the end of the season, Tom won the coveted silver roof title of National Points Champion.
