The accolade was presented to him by Scania at Silverstone race track in Towcester in recognition of his aptitude, knowledge and skills in mechanics.
Toby, from Watton, said: "It feels fantastic to win.
"I had my sights set on winning this award since I started my apprenticeship so I feel proud knowing what I am capable of and being recognised."
