The penultimate race weekend (21/22 September) of the 2024 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship had absolutely everything as the leading six contenders fought tooth and nail to remain in title contention at Silverstone.
Team BRISTOL STREET MOTORS’ Tom Ingram took a memorable double triumph amidst extremely wet conditions to haul himself level on points with overall standings leader Jake Hill – still narrowly ahead by virtue of his seven race wins to Ingram’s five so far this season.
Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport’s Hill claimed his own victory in race two around the 1.85-mile National Circuit, which may prove pivotal come the end of the season.
Reigning champion Ash Sutton kept his championship hopes intact – largely thanks to a brilliant second place finish in the finale – whilst Dan Cammish, Josh Cook and Colin Turkington still hold a mathematical, if unlikely, chance of claiming the crown.
Alliance Racing/Ford tops the Manufacturers’/Constructors’ Championship by just four points from BMW, whilst NAPA Racing UK holds an extremely healthy lead in the Teams’ table.
Árón Taylor-Smith and his Evans Halshaw Power Maxed Racing moved into an unassailable points lead in the Independents’ championships, whilst team-mate Mikey Doble has provisionally clinched the Jack Sears Trophy.
The triple-header showdown for the most coveted prize in British motorsport will take place at Brands Hatch on 5/6 October.
