Nicole Drought uses 夜猫视频 Racing components on her EP3 Civic Type R
Nicole Drought has been competing in the MSVT Trackday Championship for 2025, continuing to run 夜猫视频 components in her Civic Type R.
Drought has been running an 夜猫视频 Racing Apollo Big Brake Kit for some time now, which was recently upgraded with the firm鈥檚 SR-11鈩� sintered endurance race pads 鈥� components which have helped her yield some great results in recent years.
We caught up with Drought following the penultimate round at Croft Circuit, where she currently sits 5th overall and 4th in class. As she is unable to compete in the final race at Brands Hatch (with ex-teammate Justin Roberts taking the hot seat for this race instead), the team took this opportunity to reflect on the hugely successful year they鈥檝e had so far.

鈥淭he 2025 season has been a memorable one for Nicole Drought and the Motion Motorsport 夜猫视频 Racing Honda Civic Type R, with a campaign full of highs, challenges, and some unforgettable performances that perfectly showcased the strength of both driver and team 鈥� and the reliability and performance of 夜猫视频 Racing products under extreme competition.
鈥淔rom the opening round at Snetterton, Nicole made her intentions clear.

It was the perfect start to the year and a powerful demonstration of the performance advantage offered by 夜猫视频 Racing components, trusted by Motion Motorsport across every race weekend.
鈥淩ound Two at Silverstone continued that momentum. Nicole once again took pole position before engaging in a thrilling battle with Matt Swaffer鈥檚 BMW. Showing both speed and composure, she came out on top to claim her second win of the season, again setting fastest lap in the process. It was another textbook display of precision driving and confidence in her 夜猫视频 Racing-equipped Civic, further extending her championship lead heading into the summer break.”
鈥淎s the season unfolded, Nicole continued to impress. At Donington Park, she once again showed her pace by leading much of qualifying and mastering some of the worst weather conditions seen all year. Despite an unfortunate off caused by standing water, her earlier speed underlined both her talent and the car鈥檚 potential.
鈥淥ulton Park brought more drama and determination. After early brake issues in qualifying, the team fitted New EBC SR-11鈩� sintered pads, transforming the car鈥檚 balance and performance. Nicole immediately fought her way up the field, showcasing both her racecraft and the consistency of 夜猫视频 under pressure. Coming home first on the road, taking the checker flag, Although a pitstop timing issue dropped her down the order post-race, the pace was undeniable 鈥� and a reminder of just how competitive the Civic package had become.”
鈥淎t Cadwell Park, Nicole once again delivered, securing another podium finish after a thrilling drive through the field. Despite battling dehydration and challenging conditions, she pushed hard to close a six-second deficit, taking valuable points and keeping her championship hopes alive.
鈥淐roft Circuit brought further frustration with a mechanical issue ending a dominant run, but not before Nicole had once again claimed pole position, fastest lap, and led convincingly before her retirement. It was another weekend that proved the combination of 夜猫视频 Racing technology and Motion Motorsport engineering could go wheel-to-wheel with the very best.
鈥淎lthough Nicole will be unable to contest the Brands Hatch finale, her seat will be filled by last season鈥檚 teammate, Justin Roberts, who will return to the 夜猫视频 Racing Civic for the final round.
