Dan Cammish (NAPA Racing UK) stood victorious in Round 28 of the 2025 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship at Brands Hatch as championship leader Tom Ingram (Team VERTU) extended the gap ahead of title rival Ash Sutton (NAPA Racing UK).
Cammish's triumph was made all the more routine when pole-sitter Daryl DeLeon peeled off into the pitlane, as his WSR BMR suffered with an engine problem on the green flag lap.
NAPA Racing UK's Dan Rowbottom immediately became embroiled in a scrap with Team VERTU's Tom Chilton for second, whilst the BMWs of Charles Rainford, Jake Hill and Hyundai of Adam Morgan fought behind.
The #1 Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport BMW of reigning champion Hill was next to pit – this time with a puncture following contact with Morgan's #33 Hyundai i30N.
As WSR's race was unravelling, Team VERTU's was improving rapidly as Chilton and Morgan muscled their way into second and third respectively, whilst standings leader Ingram had moved into fifth.
Rainford provided some respite for the BMWs by claiming fourth for LKQ Euro Car Parts Racing with WSR, as he moved to summit of the Jack Sears Trophy, at the expense of stablemate DeLeon.
TOYOTA GAZOO Racing UK with IAA's Gordon Shedden starred throughout to finish seventh, with Restart Racing's Dan Lloyd in eighth.
Lloyd's Hyundai flew out of the blocks from 15th on the grid as he made up seven places to move ten points clear in the Independent Drivers' standings.
NAPA Racing UK's Ash Sutton and Restart Racing's Chris Smiley were ninth and tenth respectively, with the former keeping his narrow title hopes of a fifth BTCC title alive.
Ingram now leads Sutton by 37 points with a maximum of 44 still on offer in the final two races.
Race 2 commences at 1405 and the final race of 2025 gets underway at 1730, with all the action being broadcast live at 1730.
