It’s advantage Jake Hill following a dramatic day of racing for Rounds 22, 23 and 24 of the 2024 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship at Donington Park (25 August).
Colin Turkington (Team BMW), Ash Sutton (NAPA Racing UK) and Dan Cammish (NAPA Racing UK) claimed a victory apiece around the legendary Grand Prix to keep their respective title hopes alive, but it was a podium double for Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport’s Hill that may prove pivotal.
A late podium for Team BRISTOL STREET MOTORS’ Tom Ingram also grabbed the headlines as he sensationally surged from 19th on the grid in the finale to snatch second at the finish.
Hill leads Ingram by just nine points in the overall Drivers’ standings with Sutton a further 11 in arrears. Turkington and Cammish are next in the table, whilst an impressive trio of top four finishes for LKQ Euro Car Parts with SYNETIQ’s Josh Cook ensures there remains a sextet of title contenders.
Alliance Racing/Ford tops the Manufacturers’/Constructors’ Championship by just two points from BMW, whilst NAPA Racing UK holds a commanding advantage in the Teams’ table.
Árón Taylor-Smith and Evans Halshaw Power Maxed Racing continued their dominance of the Independents’ titles, whilst team-mate Mikey Doble still leads the Jack Sears Trophy.
The BTCC now moves on to its penultimate event at Silverstone on 21/22 September before the highly anticipated season finale takes place at Brands Hatch on 5/6 October.
