The M3 E46 pilot won both of the Kumbo BMW contests at Snetterton last weekend to surge towards the summit of Autosport's winners' table.
His latest two successes follow a victory he had already achieved in the Brands Hatch season opener, alongside two Classic Thunder triumphs at Silverstone, meaning he is now one of just five drivers to have scored five or more UK wins this year.
Autosport launched its 2023 rankings last week, charting the most successful drivers in terms of race wins and the top three of Aidan Hills, Steve Foden and Elliot Lettis remains unchanged.
Behind West, the next highest mover is Steve Hewson - who has shot from outside the top 50 into sixth place after taking a Campaign Against Living Miserably All Porsche Trophy hat-trick in his Cayman at Anglesey last weekend.
Those wins add to his victory in the Donington Park opener last month and mean he is the highest-ranked of the drivers with four wins to their name.
One spot behind Hewson is Sports 2000 star Michael Gibbins, who also jumps up the leaderboard having not figured in last week's table. He grabbed another two wins at Brands Hatch in his MCR to continue his strong start to the season.
Other notable improvers include Stephen Watkins, who extended his unbeaten run in the Midget & Sprite Challenge at Oulton Park to leap into 10th place, while Jonathan Lisseter's Ma7da glory at Anglesey enables him to rise 19 positions into joint 11th.
A little further back, Chris Beighton has become the second Sunbeam Tiger racer to enter the top 20 after scoring an Equipe Classic Racing overall win and a class success in the machine at Brands to move into 17th - one place behind Jackie Cochrane, who races a similar car across the Irish Sea.

All car races in UK and Ireland are included except qualification/repechage, consolation and handicap races. No races in other countries.
Class wins are only counted when there are at least six starters in the class. Only classes divided by car characteristics are included. Classes divided by driver characteristics such as ability, professional status, age, experience (for example rookie or Pro-Am classes) are not included.
Where there is a tie, overall wins take precedence. Where there is still a tie, average grid size for a driver’s wins determines the order.
