The 2025 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship will go down to the season finale at Brands Hatch in two weeks’ time with Tom Ingram leading old adversary Ash Sutton in the overall standings.
Team VERTU’s Ingram will take a healthy 33-point advantage into the final three races of the campaign, following a pulsating and celebratory penultimate event at Silverstone this weekend (20/21 September).
Although Ingram took a win and Sutton bagged a double podium, the BTCC’s leading duo had to largely settle for a supporting role around the 1.64-mile National layout, as Daniel Lloyd and Sam Osborne scored hugely popular triumphs.
Lloyd claimed his first victory in more than 1000 days – also a first overall success for Restart Racing – and the team were celebrating again shortly after having moved into an unassailable lead in the Independent Teams’ title race.
Ingram completed his win with a top-class performance in the second bout, but the largest roar was arguably saved for the reverse grid finale where Osborne took a memorable maiden victory.
Aside from the chase for the most coveted prize in British motorsport there are also monumental battles taking place in a number of the other championships.
Alliance Racing/Ford hold a two-point lead in the Manufacturers’/Constructors’ order over EXCELR8 Motorsport/Hyundai, whilst the same two outfits under their NAPA Racing UK and Team VERTU names are separated by three points in the Teams’ table.
Lloyd, Mikey Doble and Chris Smiley are covered by eight points in the Independent Drivers’ battle while Daryl DeLeon tops WSR stablemate Charles Rainford by eight points in the race for the Jack Sears Trophy.
Round 28, 29 and 30 of the 2025 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship take place on the brilliant Brands Hatch Grand Prix circuit on 4/5 October.
