The British Touring Car Championship returned to action at Croft this weekend (27/28 July) with a trio of different race winners entertaining a huge crowd in North Yorkshire.
The opening race was won by ‘King of Croft’ Colin Turkington – the Team BMW star’s 15 victories at the venue is the most by any driver at a single circuit.
Turkington’s win was also the 70th of his illustrious BTCC career, a number only bettered by fellow tin-top legend Jason Plato.
Speedworks Motorsport enjoyed had a one-two in the second encounter as Josh Cook led home his former World Touring Car champion stablemate Rob Huff.
Team BRISTOL STREET MOTORS’ Tom Chilton took a hugely popular triumph in the final race.
Tom Ingram (Team BRISTOL STREET MOTORS) also had a fantastic day, his double podium and stellar points haul firing the 2022 champion to the top of the Drivers’ standings.
Ingram leads the pack by an impressive 21 points from Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport’s Jake Hill, with NAPA Racing UK’s Ash Sutton a further eight points in arrears.
Alliance Racing/Ford and NAPA Racing UK top the Manufacturers’/Constructors’ and Teams’ tables.
Árón Taylor-Smith and his Evans Halshaw Power Maxed Racing squad still hold sway in the Independents’ championships, whilst team-mate Mikey Doble is the Jack Sears Trophy leader.
The BTCC returns for its annual trip north of the border with the visit to Knockhill in two weeks’ time.
