It was another wet and wild race weekend at Knockhill (12/13 August). Here is a photo summary for the final race of the day.
Ronan Pearson (BRISTOL STREET MOTORS with EXCELR8) was drawn for Race 3's pole position followed by Ricky Collard (TOYOTA GAZOO Racing UK) and Daniel Lloyd (Autobrite Direct with Millers Oils).
Collard had a wild ride to fifth, whilst Dexter Patterson (Re.Beverages and Bartercard with Team HARD) produced the race of his life so far as he muscled his way to a first ever top six finish in Britain’s most competitive championship.
Aiden Moffat (One Motorsport with Starline Racing) wrestled past the fading Cupra of Lloyd late on to take seventh, whilst George Gamble (TOYOTA GAZOO Racing UK) and Dan Cammish (NAPA Racing UK) rounded out the top ten.
Jake Hill (Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport) was out of podium contention after making contact with the BMW of Steven Jelley (Team BMW).
Ash Sutton (NAPA Racing) took victory followed by Josh Cook (One Motorsport with Starline Racing) and Tom Ingram (BRISTOL STREET MOTORS with EXCELR8).
This was Sutton's eighth win of the 2023 season and extended his points lead by a healthy margin.
