Barry Burrell Claims 2025 BMW F 900 R Cup Championship After Final Race

Barry Burrell secured the 2025 Rokit Off BMW F 900 R Cup championship by finishing third in the final race, holding off challenger James Ellison and ensuring he finished above the required fourth place. The season's climax saw intense battles between Burrell's main rivals, Nikki Coates and Josh Corner, who each took heat wins and fought closely in the final laps, with Corner narrowly winning the last race by 0.004 seconds over Coates. Throughout the weekend, Burrell demonstrated strong form by topping qualifying times and maintaining a points lead, despite Coates posting the fastest practice lap and Corner showing competitive pace. Earlier races featured dramatic moments including Scott Carson's recovery from a crash to win the Last Chance Qualifier convincingly, and the shifting positions in heats where Burrell, Coates, and Corner exchanged leads. The final event was marked by strategic racing where Burrell, confident in his points advantage, allowed his rivals to contest for the win while securing the overall title. This victory capped off a season-long title challenge from Burrell, who expressed gratitude to his supporters after clinching the championship.
