This award is presented the Driver of the Year as determined by the Marshals and the Championship Committee.

This year it has been won by the only driver to have entered all rounds over the last four seasons, a remarkable achievement, even more remarkable is the fact that he has nearly always finished each race and usually wins his class. Unfortunately he has suffered in overall honours in that as there are often less than four starters in his class he has been unable to score maximum points. Graeme has looked at the best ways to strengthen his chances of taking overall honours and always takes the opportunity to get points for doing a days marshalling. In addition this year he has moved to running on slick tyres and taking as much weight out of the Mazda MX5 as possible. His spirited, clean and competitive driving saw him push overall champion Jon Woolfitt ass the way to the title falling only 3 points behind Jon after 14 rounds.

The David Gledhill Trophy winner for 2022 is Graeme Smith
