Smith, Smiley and Ładniak are the week's high climbers

TCR UK title protagonists Isaac Smith and Chris Smiley, and TCR Germany race winner Szymon Ładniak made the most notable progress after the season finales of their respective championships this weekend.

While just missing out on the title in a tense finale at Snetterton to Smiley, Smith breaks into the top 30 of the ranking after his podium-grabbing performance in the rain on Sunday, while FIA Motorsport Games-bound Smiley leaps 36 places and is now 41st, with a good chance to make up further spots this weekend at Paul Ricard.

Meanwhile, Ładniak broke into the top 75 after a pair of victories at Hockenheim over the weekend, while his Engstler Motorsport teammate Martin Andersen's two podiums help move him ahead of fellow Dane Nicolai Sylvest to 13th - but he's still four places behind the top Danish driver, TCR Denmark champion Kasper H. Jensen.

The reinstated podium for Kevin Ceccon in TCR Italy at Mugello in July has seen the Italian reclassified as seventh in the ranking ahead of champion Niels Langeveld.
