Harry Hickton Announced as Challenger Scheme Winner and Millers Oils Brand Ambassador for 2026

Millers Oils is proud to announce Harry Hickton as the winner of its 2026 Challenger Scheme and official Millers Oils Brand Ambassador for the upcoming season.

Following a competitive selection process, Hickton was chosen for demonstrating not only strong on-track potential, but also professionalism, technical understanding and the ability to represent the Millers Oils brand both within and beyond the motorsport environment.

The Millers Oils Challenger Scheme was developed to identify and support a driver who embodies performance, ambition and the mindset required to succeed at a high level. The selection day brought together a group of talented candidates who were assessed across multiple areas including technical knowledge, simulator performance, communication skills and a presentation.

Harry Hickton stood out for his well-rounded approach, excelling in commercial awareness, media engagement, and all aspects of being a driver beyond his on-track performance.

As part of the programme, Hickton will receive structured support from Millers Oils throughout the 2026 MINI CHALLENGE season, working closely with the team across events, media activity and partner engagement. The role extends beyond race results alone, focusing on representing the brand with credibility, enthusiasm and technical confidence.

Harry Hickton said:

“Winning the Millers Oils Challenger Scheme is an incredible opportunity and something I’m really proud of. I’m really looking forward to working with the team at Millers Oils, representing the brand throughout the season and building a strong partnership both on and off the track.”

Joshua Ryder, Partnerships Development Manager at Millers Oils, said:

“The standard of drivers on the selection day was extremely high, and the decision was far from easy. Each of the shortlisted drivers brought something different to the table and made a strong case for why they should win the Challenger Scheme. In the end, Harry stood out for his attention to detail, his professionalism, technical understanding and the way he represents himself and the sport. We’re delighted to have him on board as a Millers Oils Brand Ambassador and look forward to supporting him throughout the 2026 season.”

The Challenger Scheme reflects Millers Oils continued commitment to supporting emerging talent and investing in the future of motorsport. By combining technical expertise with real-world racing environments, the programme provides meaningful development opportunities while strengthening connections between performance engineering and competitive sport.

Millers Oils looks forward to working with Harry Hickton throughout the 2026 MINI CHALLENGE season and supporting his progression both on track and beyond.
