As you will know, this is the second premier award Sandy has been shortlisted for this season. He has previously been nominated for the Motorsport News National Driver of the Year, having already been named No1 British GT Championship Driver for 2024 by MN.
“The Autosport Awards have always been the premier awards in British motorsport, so to be one of only four drivers, and the only sportscar racer, to be nominated is a real honour,” Sandy said.
“Again it will be decided by a public vote. I really appreciate all the help and support you have given me throughout my career and especially this season, and it would be fantastic to be named Autosport National Driver of the Year.”
Autosport journalists acknowledged Sandy’s performances this season as follows:
Sandy Mitchell: “The Lamborghini ace was the undoubted star of British GT this year, often setting the pace and winning more times than anyone else, alongside Alex Martin. Mitchell narrowly lost the drivers’ crown for reasons outside of his control but helped Barwell to the teams’ title.”
To recap Sandy’s 2024 season, the 2020 British GT Champion missed out on his second title by just five points. But throughout the season Sandy, personally-backed by Huntly-based Black Bull Scotch Whisky and Tunnocks, was the standout driver in British GT, winning more races than any rival and bagging four maximum point-finishes.
In addition to his three race wins — at Oulton Park, Donington and Snetterton — he also bagged maximum points at the season finale at Brands Hatch.
And in a dazzling season, Sandy also set new GT3 qualifying lap records at Silverstone and Brands Hatch, plus bagged pole position at Oulton, Donington and Snetterton. At the latter, he also posted the fastest lap in both races.
