Ash Sutton, the 4 time champion, came second with Dan Cammish having his best season in the Napa taking third.<br />&nbsp;Dan Lloyd took the independent trophy with a 4 point gap to Mikey Doble and Chris smiley just 1 point behind Doble. With both of the restart racing drivers scoring well, the team secured the independent teams for the first time in just their second year in the championship.&nbsp;<br />Daryl DeLeon took the jack sears trophy win after a close fought battle all year with team mate Charles Rainford. They swapped points and positions even throughout the weekend with both of them having a DNF in one of the races. Rainford ended the year only 3 points behind his teammate and is not eligible for the trophy next year after his outstanding win at brands Indy earlier in the year. DeLeon was the first WSR driver to claim the jack sears win, meaning that they have won all the titles that they are eligible for over the years.&nbsp;<br />Napa racing UK clinched the teams title by only 2 points ahead of team Vertu, maintaining their 3 year streak of winning the teams championship. However, excelr8 won the manufacturers championship with their Hyundai for the first time taking the title from Napa racing by 3 points and 142 points ahead of outgoing champions BMW.<br /></div>  <div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;text-align:center"> <a> <img src="http://www.f1journal.co.uk/uploads/9/8/6/9/98695694/screenshot-2025-10-06-223639_orig.png" alt="Picture" style="width:auto;max-width:100%" /> </a> <div style="display:block;font-size:90%">Image credits- Btcc Website</div> </div></div>  <div class="paragraph"><br />Race 1<br />Daryl DeLeon was due to start on pole but unfortunately had a loss of power on the formation lap so had to retire from the race and never got back out. Dan Cammish took the lead of the race from the beginning and maintained a gap to take the victory over Tom Chilton and Adam Morgan. Josh cook managed to fight his way through the pack and finished 11th from 22nd on the grid. Jake Hill suffered a puncture early in the race, forcing him to pit and finish the race in 19th, putting his fight for 3rd in the championship out of contention.&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;&#8203;<ol><li>Dan Cammish</li><li>Tom Chilton</li><li>Adam Morgan</li><li>Charles Rainford</li><li>Tom Ingram</li><li>Dan Rowbottom</li><li>Gordon Shedden</li><li>Dan Lloyd</li><li>Ash Sutton</li><li>Chris Smiley</li><li>Josh Cook</li><li>Aron Taylor-Smith</li><li>Senna Proctor</li><li>Mikey Doble</li><li>Sam Osbourne</li><li>Dexter Patterson</li><li>Max Buxton</li><li>Nic Hamilton</li><li>Jake Hill</li><li>Aiden Moffat</li><li>Nick Halstead</li><li>Daryl Deleon</li></ol></div>  <div>  <!--BLOG_SUMMARY_END--></div>  <div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;text-align:center"> <a> <img src="http://www.f1journal.co.uk/uploads/9/8/6/9/98695694/screenshot-2025-10-06-223040_orig.png" alt="Picture" style="width:auto;max-width:100%" /> </a> <div style="display:block;font-size:90%">Image Credits- Btcc Instagram</div> </div></div>  <div class="paragraph">&nbsp;&#8203;<br />Race 2&nbsp;<br />Tom Ingram took the win after an eventful second race, securing him his second championship. He handled the 2 safety car restarts well, leading his main championship rival behind him, finishing with a 3.38 second gap to Sutton. Charles Rainford, jack sears competitor, was unfortunately sent off into the gravel by Aron Taylor smith, resulting in a DNF for him and a safety car to come out on track which reduced the gap that tom Ingram had created in the lead on the soft tyre. Aron Taylor smith also had an off that led to another safety car, where Tom Chilton, who was running in second and defending for Ingram in front, suffered a mechanical causing him to retire from the race, leaving Ash Sutton directly behind Ingram. After the second safety car restart, Senna Proctor, who was on softs and scoring points for the teams championship, made his way up the field to 3rd.&nbsp; &nbsp;<br />&#8203;<ol><li>Tom Ingram</li><li>Ash Sutton</li><li>Senna Proctor</li><li>Gordon Shedden</li><li>Dan Cammish</li><li>Dan Rowbottom</li><li>Jake Hill</li><li>Josh Cook</li><li>Aiden Moffat</li><li>Adam Morgan</li><li>Chris Smiley</li><li>Sam Osbourne</li><li>Daryl Deleon</li><li>Mikey Doble</li><li>Dan Lloyd</li><li>Dexter Patterson</li><li>Max Buxton</li><li>Nick Halstead</li><li>Nic Hamilton</li><li>Tom Chilton</li><li>Aron Taylor-smith</li><li>Charles Rainford</li></ol><br /></div>  <div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;text-align:center"> <a> <img src="http://www.f1journal.co.uk/uploads/9/8/6/9/98695694/screenshot-2025-10-06-223803_orig.png" alt="Picture" style="width:auto;max-width:100%" /> </a> <div style="display:block;font-size:90%">Image credits- btcc website</div> </div></div>  <div class="paragraph">&nbsp;<br />Race 3<br />Josh cook took his first win of the year in the final round of the season ahead of Ash Sutton. Jake Hill came third in his final race in Btcc for now. He announced that this weekend was his last in the Btcc and he would be competing in international racing next year but has not discounted coming back in the future. Dan rowbottom was disqualified after the race due to the incident with Dan Cammish at turn 1 and 2 which led to Cammish having to retire from the race. He was one of the point scorers for the teams championship so the crash had an impact on many championships as well as the dynamics in the team. Tom Chilton had another retirement in his race, bringing his good race year to a bad end. Gordon Sheddon had a better end to the season with a 4th to finish off the season and finished 9th overall in the championship. Senna proctor, who only competed at 7 rounds, came 10th in the championship and hopefully has secured a seat for next year.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /><ol><li>Josh Cook</li><li>Ash Sutton</li><li>Jake Hill</li><li>Gordon Shedden</li><li>Aiden Moffat</li><li>Tom Ingram</li><li>Adam Morgan</li><li>Senna Proctor</li><li>Sam Osborne</li><li>Dexter Patterson</li><li>Charles Rainford</li><li>Chris Smiley</li><li>Daryl Deleon</li><li>Mikey Doble</li><li>Max Buxton</li><li>Nic Hamilton</li><li>Dan Lloyd</li><li>Nick Halstead</li><li>Aron Taylor-smith</li><li>Dan Cammish</li><li>Tom Chilton</li><li>Dan Rowbottom</li></ol><br /><br />Silly season will be upon us soon and only 195 days until we go racing again</div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Jake Hill fights back at flying Knockhill]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.f1journal.co.uk/btcc/jake-hill-fights-back-at-flying-knockhill]]></link><comments><![CDATA[http://www.f1journal.co.uk/btcc/jake-hill-fights-back-at-flying-knockhill#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Tue, 19 Aug 2025 18:39:25 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.f1journal.co.uk/btcc/jake-hill-fights-back-at-flying-knockhill</guid><description><![CDATA[       Jake hill takes the win after an action-packed race at Knockhill.

Jake hill and Charles Rainford were the only ones running on mediums which led to them dropping down the pack, with Rainford ending in 16th and Hill in 5th. Tom Chilton made his way up to 8th from 22nd after an over boosting problem in race 1 causing him to drop to the back of the grid. Dan Cammish played the team game by dropping back on the line to let Ash Sutton take 2nd to reduce the deficit of points to championship leader tom Ingram, with Dan Cammish overtaking Dan Rowbottom for 3rd in the championship.&nbsp;<br /><ol><li>Tom Ingram</li><li>Ash Sutton</li><li>&nbsp;Dan Cammish</li><li>Senna Proctor</li><li>&nbsp;Jake Hill</li><li>&nbsp;Daryl Deleon</li><li>Aiden Moffat</li><li>Tom Chilton</li><li>Dan Rowbottom</li><li>Adam Morgan</li><li>Aron Taylor-smith</li><li>Chris Smiley</li><li>Gordon Shedden</li><li>James Dorlin</li><li>Dan Lloyd</li><li>Charles Rainford</li><li>Dexter Patterson</li><li>Mikey Doble</li><li>Max Buxton</li><li>Nic Hamilton</li><li>Nick Halstead</li><li>Sam Osbourne</li></ol></div>  <div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;text-align:center"> <a> <img src="http://www.f1journal.co.uk/uploads/9/8/6/9/98695694/screenshot-2025-08-19-194711_orig.png" alt="Picture" style="width:auto;max-width:100%" /> </a> <div style="display:block;font-size:90%"></div> </div></div>  <div class="paragraph">Jake hill takes his second win of the day after a feisty race 3. Daryl DeLeon had his first ever pole position from the fishbowl but was running on mediums tyres which impacted his race. Ash Sutton and tom Ingram had a multi lap battle with tom&rsquo;s teammates also getting involved and helping him to get as many points as he can get. It was an all-out chaotic third race with many battles up and down the pack. Mikey Doble got a point out of the last race which rewards all the hard work that the whole team had to put in so that the cars could run for Knockhill. Cammish played the team game again with him and Sutton swapping on the line. However, DeLeon had come to a stop on pit entry which meant that double yellows were flying when the swap happened. This meant that the places were swapped back, with Sutton ending in 3rd and Cammish in 2nd.<br />&nbsp;<br /><ol><li>Jake Hill</li><li>Dan Cammish</li><li>Ash Sutton</li><li>Tom Ingram</li><li>Tom Chilton</li><li>Dan Rowbottom</li><li>Adam Morgan</li><li>Charles Rainford</li><li>Adam Morgan</li><li>Gordon Shedden</li><li>Chris Smiley</li><li>Dan Lloyd</li><li>Senna Proctor</li><li>Dexter Patterson</li><li>Mikey Doble</li><li>Sam Osbourne</li><li>James Dorlin</li><li>Nic Hamilton</li><li>Nick Halstead</li><li>Daryl Deleon</li><li>Aron Taylor-smith</li><li>Mikey Doble</li></ol></div>  <div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;text-align:center"> <a> <img src="http://www.f1journal.co.uk/uploads/9/8/6/9/98695694/screenshot-2025-08-19-194808_orig.png" alt="Picture" style="width:auto;max-width:100%" /> </a> <div style="display:block;font-size:90%"></div> </div></div>  <div class="paragraph">Tom Ingram still leads the championship by 17 points with only Donington, Silverstone and Brands GP left to run.

Unfortunately, Power maxed racing suffered a fire that destroyed their base and with that their race team and cars. However, like a phoenix from the ashes, they managed to get a Cupra from the Patterson family and the ex max hall Cupra from unlimited Motorsport. This has meant that 7 days after they lost everything, they have 2 cars on the grid for Knockhill. They are still having to work hard to get everything up and running but they have shown resilience and shows the family spirit of the Btcc. Dan Lloyd has also had to front a massive cost as his engine failure at croft has led to him needing a new engine which cost &pound;24,000 and he is trying his best to raise those funds so that he can continue for the rest of the season.&nbsp;<br />The massive surprise of qualifying was Ash Sutton exiting in q2 after he nearly rolled it coming out of the chicane. His set up doesn't seem to favour Knockhill with him struggling in all sessions. The BMW&rsquo;s have found a better set up since the summer break with all 4 of the cars getting into q2, which was Aiden Moffat&rsquo;s first appearance this season. Daryl DeLeon also had his best qualifying result, placing second on the grid for race 1. Reigning champion Jake Hill takes third after his recovery from the ear infection that made him miss Croft. The main championship contenders Tom Ingram, who starts in 4th and Ash Sutton, who starts in 10th, will have to try and fight their way through the BMWs to get a good points haul from race 1. Dan Rowbottom was excluded from qualifying after he failed his post weight check so will start race 1 from the back of the grid.<br /><ol><li>Charles Rainford <strong>50.673</strong></li><li>Daryl DeLeon <strong>50.686</strong></li><li>Jake Hill <strong>50.860</strong></li><li>Tom Ingram <strong>51.143</strong></li><li>Senna Proctor <strong>53.764</strong></li><li>Dan Cammish <strong>50.998</strong></li><li>Aron Taylor-smith <strong>51.022</strong></li><li>Chris Smiley <strong>51.051</strong></li><li>Aiden Moffat <strong>51.084</strong></li><li>Ash Sutton <strong>51.103</strong></li><li>Sam Osbourne <strong>51.300</strong></li><li>Dan Lloyd <strong>51.165</strong></li><li>Adam Morgan <strong>51.170</strong></li><li>James Dorlin <strong>51.270</strong></li><li>Mikey Doble <strong>51.198</strong></li><li>Tom Chilton <strong>51.347</strong></li><li>Gordon Shedden <strong>51.482</strong></li><li>Dexter Patterson <strong>51.377</strong></li><li>Max Buxton <strong>51.716</strong></li><li>Nick Halstead <strong>52.748</strong></li><li>Nic Hamiliton <strong>52.309</strong></li><li>Dan Rowbottom <strong>no time</strong></li></ol></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Chaotic croft delivers excitement after the summer break]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.f1journal.co.uk/btcc/chaotic-croft-delivers-excitement-after-the-summer-break]]></link><comments><![CDATA[http://www.f1journal.co.uk/btcc/chaotic-croft-delivers-excitement-after-the-summer-break#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Mon, 04 Aug 2025 11:25:44 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.f1journal.co.uk/btcc/chaotic-croft-delivers-excitement-after-the-summer-break</guid><description><![CDATA[    Image Credits- BTCC instagram   Race 1Tom Ingram wins race 1 from pole position ahead of championship rival Dan Cammish and teammate Senna Proctor, who takes his first podium in 4 years after his return at Thruxton this year.

He made full advantage of his full allocation of turbo boost and running a soft tyre meaning he gained points back on main championship rival Tom Ingram.&nbsp;<br /></span><ol><li>Dan Rowbottom</li><li>Tom Chilton</li><li>Daryl Deleon</li><li>Adam Morgan</li><li>Ash Sutton</li><li>Charles Rainford</li><li>Gordon Shedden</li><li>Tom Ingram</li><li>Aiden Moffat</li><li>Dan Cammish</li><li>Dexter Patterson</li><li>Sam Osbourne</li><li>Chris Smiley</li><li>Mikey Doble</li><li>Dan Lloyd</li><li>James Dorlin</li><li>Stephen Jelley</li><li>Max Buxton</li><li>Senna Proctor</li><li>Nick Halstead</li><li>Aron Taylor-Smith</li><li>Nic Hamilton</li></ol><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)"></span><br /></div>  <div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;text-align:center"> <a> <img src="http://www.f1journal.co.uk/uploads/9/8/6/9/98695694/screenshot-2025-08-04-123633_orig.png" alt="Picture" style="width:auto;max-width:100%" /> </a> <div style="display:block;font-size:90%">Image Credits- Btcc Instagram</div> </div></div>  <div class="paragraph"><br /><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)">Race 3&nbsp;</span><br /><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)">Ash Sutton wins the chaotic last race at croft, beating Tom Ingram and Senna Proctor to the line. Aiden Moffat was drawn for pole for the first time this season but unfortunately Dan Lloyd never made it to the grid due to ongoing engine issues. The first lap was a true touring car start with wheel bashing and tom Ingram sliding round the second corner after a tag from Moffat. The next chaos was Dan Cammish getting a tap and ending up on the grass, before sliding back on track and hitting DeLeon and smiley in the process. This also caught up his teammate Dan Rowbottom and Mikey Doble and causing a safety car. James Dorlin's weekend didn't get any better after having to retire from the race, losing him his 8th place. Ash Sutton came into the lead through an incredible move at the last corner, undercutting both Tom Ingram and Aiden Moffat. Senna Proctor had an amazing race coming from 18th on the grid to standing on the podium in 3rd. Sam Osborne also benefited from the accidents and found himself in 7th which is his second best result of the season. Charles Rainford had an unfortunate hit at the last corner putting him last on track, where he then got a cone spun into his front grill and gave him a new air intake! He however did take the jack sears trophy for this weekend and is 2nd in the championship to his teammate Daryl DeLeon.&nbsp;<br /></span><ol><li>Ash Sutton</li><li>Tom &nbsp;Ingram</li><li>Senna Proctor</li><li>Gordon Shedden</li><li>Adam Morgan</li><li>Aiden Moffat</li><li>Sam Osbourne</li><li>Tom Chilton</li><li>Aron Taylor-Smith</li><li>Mikey Doble</li><li>Dexter Patterson</li><li>Max Buxton</li><li>Charles Rainford</li><li>Nick Halstead</li><li>Dan Rowbottom</li><li>Nic Hamilton</li><li>James Dorlin</li><li>Stephen Jelley</li><li>Dan Cammish</li><li>Chris Smiley</li><li>Daryl Deleon</li><li>Dan Lloyd</li></ol><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)"></span><br /><br /><font color="#2a2a2a">&#8203;Tom Ingram leads the championship by 8 points ahead of Ash Sutton with 4 more rounds to go.

He topped the times in both fp1 and fp2 putting in a lap time of 1:20.522 for him to take pole ahead of local lad Dan Cammish and superstar Mikey Doble. However there were a few more surprises earlier in the day. Colin Turkington filled in for Jake hill in fp2 after Jake was taken ill to the medical centre where he was assessed and told that he was unfit to drive. This has led to the team pulling the car out of the week meaning that the reigning champion will not score any points out of this weekend and may potentially lose out in the championship to Adam Morgan and Tom Chilton, putting him 7th in the championship with only 4 rounds to go.&nbsp;</span><br /><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)">Track limits were the major words spoken during qualifying with most drivers getting a lap time deleted throughout the stages of qualifying, especially through turn 5 which is the exit of the chicane. Dan Rowbottom was the main victim of track limits but still managed to put in Ford focus in 5th behind the hastily rebuilt Hyundai of Tom Chilton who had a big crash in fp2 with the bumper and sides having to be replaced. The major shock of qualifying was Ash Sutton not making it through to the quick 6 and qualifying 11th after complaining that his car lacked the power to be able to complete a fast lap. Dan Lloyd was also a stand out performer with his best quality result of the season in 6th, which will be a relief after a major sponsor pulled out during the summer break which led to him having to scramble to get sponsorship so that he could continue in one of his best seasons in the btcc.&nbsp;</span><br /><br /><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)">1- Tom Ingram&nbsp;</span>1:20.522<span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)"></span><br /><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)">2- Dan Cammish&nbsp;</span>1:20.789<span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)"></span><br /><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)">3- Mikey Doble&nbsp;</span>1:20.936<span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)"></span><br /><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)">4-Tom Chilton&nbsp;</span>1:20.938<span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)"></span><br /><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)">5- Dan Rowbottom&nbsp;</span>1:21.071<span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)"></span><br /><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)">6- Dan Lloyd&nbsp;</span>1:21.593<span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)"></span><br /><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)">7- Aron Taylor Smith&nbsp;</span>1:21.109<span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)"></span><br /><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)">8- Senna Proctor&nbsp;</span>1:21.122<span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)"></span><br /><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)">9- Charles Rainford&nbsp;</span>1:21.164<span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)"></span><br /><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)">10-Daryl DeLeon&nbsp;</span>1:21.172<span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)"></span><br /><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)">11- Ash Sutton&nbsp;</span>1:21.204<span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)"></span><br /><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)">12- Adam Morgan&nbsp;</span>1:21.708<span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)"></span><br /><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)">13-Dexter Patterson&nbsp;</span>1:22.171<span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)"></span><br /><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)">14- Chris Smiley&nbsp;</span>1:21.653&nbsp;<span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)"></span><br /><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)">15- James Dorlin&nbsp;</span>1:22.173<span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)"></span><br /><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)">16- Aiden Moffat&nbsp;</span>1:21.693<span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)"></span><br /><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)">17- Gordon Shedden&nbsp;</span>1:22.367<span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)"></span><br /><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)">18- Sam Osborne&nbsp;</span>1:21.731<span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)"></span><br /><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)">19- Stephen Jelley&nbsp;</span>1:22.537&nbsp;<span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)"></span><br /><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)">20- Nic Hamilton&nbsp;</span>1:22.882<span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)"></span><br /><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)">21-Max Buxton&nbsp;</span>1:36.888<span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)"><br />22- Nick Halstead&nbsp;</span>1:24.396&#8203;<span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)"></span>&#8203;</div>  <div>  <!--BLOG_SUMMARY_END--></div>  <div class="paragraph"><br /><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)">Summer news</span><br /><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)">While it may have been quiet on track, the paddock kept moving over the break with the first announcement being max hall stepping away from btcc leaving an empty seat at unlimited Motorsport.

We wish him well and hope that the team can return for donington GP. This announcement meant that Josh Cook and Stephen Jelley would not be able to compete in the next two rounds. However Stephen Jelley has hopped across and taken the empty seat at unlimited Motorsport, that Max Hall had vacated, and is able to compete with Josh Cook taken on a driver coaching role for the meantime.&nbsp;</span><br /><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)">The final driver announcement out of the summer break was that Max Buxton would be taking over the spare seat at speedworks, replacing Finn Lesley who was replacing Ronan Pearson after he dropped out of the series after Thruxton. The 19 year old was competing in the ford fiesta championship so has a big leap up the ranks to complete in the btcc.

Max hall didn't make it to the grid after his race 1 incident meant that he had gearbox and engine issues. The front of the pack got away quickly after the first corner and led to a stagnant kind of race as they all had similar amount of boost around a very quick circuit. Mikey Doble&rsquo;s bad luck continued as after he had an engine change between race 1 and 2, his engine overheated again meaning he did not finish the race. Senna Proctor was impressive and managed to get 7th on his 2nd race back in the championship. Josh cook crossed the line in 3rd but failed the ride height checks, meaning that he had to start from the back of the grid for race 3.

Dorlin started on pole but the more experienced racers behind him overtook him in an eventful first corner. Lloyd had a false start which resulted in him having a 5 second penalty which was a shame as he was running well and would have given him a good result. Adam Morgan touched the grass coming across the start finish line which resulted in him spinning into the barriers and led to the end of his race. Jake hill and Ash Sutton came together causing Hill to leave the track and pick up grass meaning he had to pit and finished in 19th. Ash Sutton was sent into a spin which he miraculously recovered and ended the race in 5th and meant he retains his lead in the championship. The pole sitter Dorlin had an electrical issue that led to him having to retire from the race. Mikey Doble&rsquo;s bad luck was made even worse as he received a 10 second penalty on the last lap meaning he dropped from 8th to 13th and meant he scored no points at Thruxton, and he will be hoping to have a better time at Oulton Park.&nbsp;<br /><ol><li>Dan Rowbottom</li><li>Tom Ingram</li><li>Dan Cammish</li><li>Senna Proctor</li><li>Ash Sutton</li><li>Aron Taylor-smith</li><li>Josh Cook</li><li>Tom Chilton</li><li>Dan Lloyd</li><li>Gordon Shedden</li><li>Sam Osbourne</li><li>Aiden Moffat</li><li>Mikey Doble</li><li>Daryl Deleon</li><li>Stephen Jelley</li><li>Dexter Patterson</li><li>Nick Hamilton</li><li>Jake Hill</li><li>Charles Rainford</li><li>Ronan Pearson</li><li>Adam Morgan</li><li>James Dorlin</li><li>Chris Smiley</li><li>Max Hall</li></ol></div>  <div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;text-align:center"> <a> <img src="http://www.f1journal.co.uk/uploads/9/8/6/9/98695694/screenshot-2025-06-09-191600_orig.png" alt="Picture" style="width:auto;max-width:100%" /> </a> <div style="display:block;font-size:90%">Image credits- Btcc website</div> </div></div>  <div class="paragraph">Ash Sutton still leads the championship, 9 points ahead of Tom Ingram with Dan Rowbottom in 3rd, after Jake hills no point score in race 3, which is the first time this season that the top three have changed.

He is beat championship rival Tom Ingram to pole with teammate Dan Cammish, who has taken 2 poles this season so far, in third.&nbsp;<br /><br />Josh Cook was the first real victim to the wet conditions at Thruxton as he aquaplaned into the wall with a smash. He got out of the car but was taken to the medical centre with an ankle problem. His lap times were taken off him as he caused a red flag meaning the king of Thruxton may have to fight his way through the pack to maintain his title if his car can be fixed in time and if he is cleared to drive. Adam Morgan had a lucky escape after also aquaplaning into the barriers but was able to recover himself and return to the track. The conditions were very tricky and made worse by the fact that Thruxton is the fastest circuit that the Btcc visits.<br /><br />Senna proctor, who has replaced Michael Crees for the rest of the season after Bensley's outing at Snetterton, made a surprise entry into the quick six and securing 6th on the grid for race 1. He had not set foot in a touring car since the end of the 2021 season and will be hoping to get good results in the races tomorrow and will be hoping that the electrical issue he was suffering from in the quick 6 is fixed before race 1. James Dorlin was also a surprise entry to the top 6, getting 5th on the grid for tomorrow and he will be looking to get his best result of the season for the Toyota gazoo racing team who have not had much success so far in the season.

Dan Cammish took the win but with the threat of a penalty after he crept before the lights hanging over him. Jake hills race came to an early end after one of the Toyotas ran into him and spun him, meaning he had to pit and finish 5 laps down. The bashing didn't stop there as Max Hall lost it going into the last corner and hit the side of Gordon Shedden taking them both out of the race and proving that coming back to the Btcc is not a walk in the park. There was a battle for 2nd towards the end of the race between championship rivals&rsquo; Ash Sutton and Tom Ingram with late lunges and switch backs that show the true power and nature of the cars and drivers. Tom Ingram taking 2nd meant that it was his 100th podium in the Btcc with () being wins. However, the 2022 champion is yet to get a win this year despite being sat in 2nd in the championship.&nbsp;Aiden Moffat was disqualified after the race due to over boosting during the race and had to start race 2 from the back.&nbsp;<br /><ol><li>Dan Cammish</li><li>Tom Ingram</li><li>Ash Sutton</li><li>Dan Rowbottom</li><li>Dan Lloyd</li><li>Adam Morgan</li><li>Tom Chilton</li><li>Chris Smiley</li><li>Mikey Doble</li><li>Daryl DeLeon</li><li>Josh Cook</li><li>Charles Rainford</li><li>Sam Osbourne</li><li>Aron Taylor smith</li><li>James Dorlin</li><li>Ryan Bensley</li><li>Ronan Pearson</li><li>Nick Hamilton</li><li>Dexter Patterson</li><li>Nick Halstead</li><li>Gordon Shedden</li><li>Max Hall</li><li>Stephen Jelley</li><li>Jake Hill</li><li>Aiden Moffat</li></ol></div>  <div>  <!--BLOG_SUMMARY_END--></div>  <div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:10px;text-align:left"> <a> <img src="http://www.f1journal.co.uk/uploads/9/8/6/9/98695694/screenshot-2025-05-27-193102_orig.png" alt="Picture" style="width:auto;max-width:100%" /> </a> <div style="display:block;font-size:90%">image credits to Btcc website</div> </div></div>  <div class="wsite-spacer" style="height:50px;"></div>  <div class="paragraph">&#8203;The tyre deficit really showed itself in this race as the first 3 from race one (Dan Cammish, Tom Ingram and Ash Sutton) were the only ones on the hard tyre, as mandated in the rules, meaning that they created a roadblock that the soft shod cars had to try and overtake. However, Tom Ingram took himself out of the race on lap 3 and straight into the barriers meaning he scored no points compared to his champion rivals and meant the car had to be fixed before race 3. Dan Rowbottom managed to fight his way to the front and take the win that made all his hard work and suffering over the winter worth it. &nbsp;Gordon Shedden was also disqualified, like Moffat in the first race, for over boosting during the race. Dan then did the reverse grid draw and put Mikey doble on pole meaning that it was the minimum reverse that can happen<br /><ol><li>Dan Rowbottom</li><li>Adam Morgan</li><li>Tom Chilton</li><li>Dan Lloyd</li><li>Chris Smiley</li><li>Mikey Doble</li><li>Josh Cook</li><li>Sam Osbourne</li><li>Charles Rainford</li><li>Ash Sutton</li><li>Jake Hill</li><li>Aron Taylor smith</li><li>Ronan Pearson</li><li>James Dorlin</li><li>Daryl DeLeon</li><li>Aiden Moffat</li><li>Stephen Jelley</li><li>Ryan Bensley</li><li>Dan Cammish</li><li>Dexter Patterson</li><li>Max Hall</li><li>Nick Hamilton</li><li>Nick Halstead</li><li>Tom Ingram</li><li>Gordon Shedden&nbsp;</li></ol></div>  <div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;text-align:center"> <a> <img src="http://www.f1journal.co.uk/uploads/9/8/6/9/98695694/screenshot-2025-05-27-192958_orig.png" alt="Picture" style="width:auto;max-width:100%" /> </a> <div style="display:block;font-size:90%">Image credits to Btcc website</div> </div></div>  <div class="paragraph">&#8203;Just like 2023, Mikey doble upset Napas history making by taking his maiden win the 3rd race at Snetterton. He had to put up with a persistent Ash Sutton for much of the second half of the race, who was trying to take his 3rd victory of the season and trying to make it two race weekends in a row that a team won all 3 races with different winners. Chris smiley unfortunately had an issue that meant that he couldn't take his best starting position of the season in 4th and was 4 laps down on the rest of the field. Stephen Jelley&rsquo;s weekend also came to an unfortunate end when he ended up in the barriers on lap 1 of the race, bringing out the safety car, and earning him another non points scoring race. After tom Ingram's unfortunate off in race 2, he had to battle his way through the pack from 24th on the grid. He made up () place on the first lap alone and made his way up to 5th where he had a good battle with Sam Osborne, who was also running in his top position this season, to take 4th at the checkered flag with Sam Osborne taking his best result of 5th and taking the jack sears trophy win. One Motorsport also took their first podium of their return season with josh Cook taking 3rd which puts him into good stead for his home round at Thruxton where he has taken the most of his wins.<br /><ol><li>Mikey Doble</li><li>Ash Sutton</li><li>Josh Cook</li><li>Tom Ingram</li><li>Sam Osbourne</li><li>Dan Cammish</li><li>Charles Rainford</li><li>Ronan Pearson</li><li>Jake Hill</li><li>Aiden Moffat</li><li>Aron Taylor smith</li><li>Gordon Shedden</li><li>Dexter Patterson</li><li>Max hall</li><li>Adam Morgan</li><li>Dan Lloyd</li><li>Dan Rowbottom</li><li>Tom Chilton</li><li>Daryl DeLeon</li><li>Ryan Bensley</li><li>Nick Halstead</li><li>Nic Hamilton</li><li>James Dorlin</li><li>Chris smiley</li><li>Stephen Jelley</li></ol></div>  <div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;text-align:center"> <a> <img src="http://www.f1journal.co.uk/uploads/9/8/6/9/98695694/screenshot-2025-05-27-193033_orig.png" alt="Picture" style="width:auto;max-width:100%" /> </a> <div style="display:block;font-size:90%">Image credits to Btcc website</div> </div></div>  <div class="paragraph">Leaving the weekend Ash Sutton leads the championship with 132 points, 15 points ahead of Tom Ingram in 2nd and Jake Hill 25 points behind 2nd meaning the championship is wide open and anyone&rsquo;s to take.

Tom Ingram, who is 2nd in the championship, with only 3 seconds of boost managed to put in a flyer and qualify 2nd which put him in a good position to fight Ash for the lead of the championship. One of the shocks of qualifying was Jake hill not progressing through from his group and ending up 20th on the grid and he only has 5 laps of Toca turbo boost to make his way through the pack at a circuit where boost will have a major impact. Restart racing had a good qualifying with both progressing into the top 12 with Chris smiley qualifying 12th and Dan Lloyd narrowly missing out on making the quick 6 and qualifying 7th. Ash Sutton had electrical issues throughout qualifying with him stopping in track and having to restart the car at the beginning of the top 12 session and then coming to a stop in the quick 6 meaning that he caused a red flag and did not set a lap time in that session. However, he still qualified 6th but will only have 1 lap of boost to try and keep his championship lead.<br />&nbsp;1- Dan Cammish <strong>1:53.750</strong><br />2- Tom Ingram&nbsp;<strong>1:53.780</strong><br />3- Dan Rowbottom&nbsp;<strong>1:54.255</strong><br />4- Mikey doble <strong>1:54.518</strong><br />5-Adam Morgan <strong>1:54.908</strong><br />6-Ash Sutton <strong>1:54.308</strong><br />7-Dan Lloyd <strong>1:54.769</strong><br />8- Josh Cook <strong>1:54.842</strong><br />9- Tom Chilton <strong>1:54.872</strong><br />10-James Dorlin <strong>1:54.927</strong><br />11- Charles Rainford&nbsp;<strong>1:55.177</strong><br />12- Chris smiley <strong>1:55.221</strong><br />13- Daryl DeLeon&nbsp;<strong>1:55.494</strong><br />14- Aiden Moffat&nbsp;<strong>1:55.411</strong><br />15- Gordon Shedden <strong>1:55.499</strong><br />16- Sam Osborne&nbsp;<strong>1:55.470</strong><br />17- Aron Taylor smith <strong>1:55.544</strong><br />18- Dexter Patterson&nbsp;<strong>1:55.508</strong><br />19- Max Hall <strong>1:55.865</strong><br />20- Jake Hill <strong>1:55.769</strong><br />21- Stephen Jelley <strong>1:55.907</strong><br />22- Ronan Pearson&nbsp;<strong>1:56.003</strong><br />23- Nick Halstead&nbsp;<strong>1:58.281</strong><br />24- Nick Hamilton&nbsp;<strong>1:58.556</strong><br />25- Ryan Bensley&nbsp;<strong>1:58.637</strong><br />&nbsp;</div> <hr style="width:100%;clear:both;visibility:hidden;"></hr>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[WSR take historic wins at Brands Hatch Indy]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.f1journal.co.uk/btcc/wsr-take-historic-wins-at-brands-hatch-indy]]></link><comments><![CDATA[http://www.f1journal.co.uk/btcc/wsr-take-historic-wins-at-brands-hatch-indy#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Mon, 19 May 2025 11:18:49 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.f1journal.co.uk/btcc/wsr-take-historic-wins-at-brands-hatch-indy</guid><description><![CDATA[Image credits- Btcc website gallery   Qualifying&nbsp;&nbsp;Jake hill takes pole position at Brands hatch indy circuit&nbsp;Jake hill takes pole with a lap time of 46.493 seconds ahead of team mate Charles Rainford and team vertu driver Adam Morgan.

The lack of toca turbo boost affected Ash Sutton's qualifying who didn't make it out of the group stages of qualifying and ended up in 13th. Aiden Moffat had an off into the gravel with caused a red flag and meant that his lap time was disallowed and put him 25th on the grid. This also impacted other peoples strategies and meant that some front runners did not put in a good lap and did not get through to q2. Tom Ingram was also under investigation for not going to the weigh bridge when the red flag was called and led to all his lap data being deleted and leaving him the mission to put in a good lap with less than 5 minutes left on the clock. Sam Osborne had a brilliant qualifying putting himself 7th on the grid and out qualifying all of his Napa team mates.<br /><br /><ol><li>Jake Hill&nbsp;&nbsp; 46.493s</li><li>Charles Rainford 46.514s</li><li>Adam Morgan 46.519s</li><li>Tom Ingram 46.694s</li><li>Dan Cammish 46.706s</li><li>Mikey Doble 46.755s</li><li>Sam Osbourne 46.790s</li><li>Dan Lloyd 46.839s</li><li>Daryl DeLeon 46.843s</li><li>Ronan Pearson 46.852s</li></ol><br />Race 1<br /><u>Hill takes the win after 24 laps around the brands indy circuit</u><br />The BMWs showed that they are still up there in race 1 with both Hill and Charles Rainford running in the front of the pack with them creating a large gap to Tom Ingram in third early in the race. Rainford was racing around the short Indy circuit at brands and took a new lap record of 47.604. Ash Sutton made some progress up the pack after qualifying 13th due to lack of boost and was on the hard tyre which allowed others to learn off his progress. Boost played into people&rsquo;s strategies which meant that the pack was fighting for positions all down the grid. With Hill taking the win, it made WSR the most successful team in Btcc history with 133 wins.<ol><li>Jake Hill</li><li>Charles Rainford</li><li>Tom Ingram</li><li>Adam Morgan</li><li>Dan Cammish</li><li>Mikey Doble</li><li>Daryl DeLeon</li><li>Sam Osbourne</li><li>Dan Lloyd</li><li>Ash Sutton</li></ol> &nbsp;<br />&nbsp;<br />Race 2<br /><u>Deleon takes his first Btcc win at round 5!</u><br />Daryl DeLeon took his maiden victory after a lunge on Hill after the safety car restart in his 50th race in the Btcc. He worked his way up from 7th through the field and after Max Hall and Dexter Patterson caused a crash which resulted in a safety car and then Dan Cammish stalled on the restart, the hard tyres which Jake hill was running on meant that Deleon could get passed easily and take the victory. The hard to soft tyre deficit was evident as Ash Sutton came through to 3rd from 10th whereas Tom Ingram, who had finished 3rd in the first race which resulted in him having to take the hardest tyre available, lost ground and ended the race in 11th.&nbsp;Chris Smiley had a good race making him the winning independent driver and his best result of the season.<ol><li>Daryl DeLeon</li><li>Adam Morgan</li><li>Ash Sutton</li><li>Chris smiley</li><li>Aiden Moffat</li><li>Josh cook</li><li>Charles Rainford</li><li>Jake hill</li><li>Dan Rowbottom</li><li>Ronan Pearson</li></ol> &nbsp;<br />&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;<br />Race 3<br /><u>WSR takes their 3rd win of the day with Charles Rainford taking the victory&nbsp;</u><br />Wsr made it 135 wins in total for them after their dominance at brands hatch Indy.

Charles Rainford took victory after a many laps battle with teammate and current champion Jake hill and took his maiden win after only 6 races in the Btcc with Wsr. Their teammate Aiden Moffat was also battling through the pack with fights between him and Ash Sutton and Tom Ingram with paint work being exchanged between them all! Max hall had an unfortunate off in the gravel which luckily did not cause a safety car but meant that after a good-looking weekend at Donington, Hall had 2 DNF this weekend.&nbsp;<ol><li>Charles Rainford</li><li>Jake hill</li><li>Tom ingram</li><li>Ash Sutton</li><li>Chris smiley</li><li>Josh cook</li><li>Tom Chilton</li><li>Aiden Moffat</li><li>Dan Rowbottom</li><li>Gordon Shedden</li></ol> &nbsp;<br />&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;<br />After the weekend&rsquo;s events, Ash Sutton leads the championship by 5 points ahead of Tom Ingram with reigning champion Jake Hill 7 points behind again in 3rd.
