Charles Rainford triumphed for a second straight Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship weekend with a dominant drive in the Oulton Park (6/7 June) finale as WSR’s excellent recent form continued amid mixed weather conditions in Cheshire.

And with team-mate Daryl De Leon scoring his first career independent class victory in Race 2, it was a double celebration for the 18-time series champions and their pair of BMW 330i M Sport race cars.

Having been drawn third on Race 3’s partially-reversed grid, Rainford moved into second place at the start and anticipated the track conditions better than anybody else to seize the lead at one-third distance following a safety-car restart.

The #99 controlled his pace thereafter to win for a second weekend in a row and for the third time in his BTCC career. It was also a record-extending 139th series victory for WSR.

The Horsham racer was 15th and ninth in the day’s other races to sit fourth in the overall standings and third in the Independent’s category, which he also won in Race 3.

Team-mate De Leon holds second in the Independents’ standings, only five points from the top spot, following an impressive category victory in the second bout of the day, coming in fourth spot overall after he carved his way through the order from 10th on the grid.

The Anglo-Filipino’s first category win helped WSR to climb to second in the Independent Teams’ standings, one point from the top spot, and to cement their second place in the overall Teams’ rankings.

De Leon had also made good progress in the opening contest; the common thread being that he had chosen, unlike Charles, to use the soft-option Goodyear tyres rather than getting his mandatory hard-tyre use out of the way early on.

The #2's results across the early part of the afternoon elevated him to a career-best fifth place in the Drivers’ Championship, though his 15th spot in Race 3, on the hard tyres, caused him to end the day sixth in the standings.

The BTCC now takes its summer break before resuming at the end of July (25/26) at the fastest circuit on the calendar, Thruxton.

Charles Rainford: “We said after Saturday that Race 3 was ours, and we’ve only gone and won it! Just amazing. To get a win at Snetterton and now at Oulton Park too is just brilliant. That was probably the fastest race I’ve ever driven. It was qualifying laps from start to end – with two safety-car periods in between – and I’m super, super happy. I’m so thankful to my sponsors and the amazing WSR team. We have a break now for a bit, but we’ll be making sure we’re pushing just as hard once we get there.”

Daryl De Leon: “We’re walking away with a nice Independent winning trophy, which is brilliant. I was pipped on the line for tenth in Race 1, but I had a really good drive in Race 2 to come from tenth on the grid to finish fourth. I could have been a little higher, but I took too long to get through the pack. I’m very happy to have the Independent win. In the last race, on the less grippy, hard tyre, and with only four laps of boost, we were nowhere, but I’m happy with the weekend overall and it’s nice to see there’s some good pace in the BMW. I’m still there or thereabouts in sixth in the points and that’s thanks to a strong performance by the whole team. Bring on Thruxton.”

Dick Bennetts, Team Principal: “It’s been a very good day, especially when you consider we started the first race well outside the top ten. Charles was on the right tyre in Race 3, but made the most of it, and Daryl’s performance in Race 2 was very impressive. As pleased as I am for both drivers, I’m even more pleased for the team members that build and run the cars because we’ve had another weekend with excellent reliability and that’s helped us into strong positions in the various championship tables. We have a bit of a gap now before the next round, but that will give us time to make sure the BMWs are in the best shape possible for Thruxton.”

Max Buxton battled back from illness to finish on the cusp of the points-paying positions in all three 2026 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship contests at Oulton Park (6/7 June).

The Speedworks Corolla Racing driver arrived at the Cheshire circuit for the fourth meeting of the season hoping to hit the ground running, however a viral infection stopped him in his tracks on Saturday.

Having been trackside throughout Friday, the 20-year-old woke up Saturday morning feeling unwell and after being checked over by the BTCC Medical Team, he was deemed unfit to contest Practice, Qualifying and the Qualifying Race.

Spending the entirety of Saturday resting in his motorhome, the Lancashire racer thankfully felt much better on race day and after being seen by doctors in the morning, he was given the all-clear to compete.

With zero track running prior to race one, Buxton started the opening encounter from the back of the grid and gave a good account of himself as he progressed up the order to take the chequered flag in 18th.

Buxton then matched his season-best result in the remaining two races as he valiantly fought his way forward to finish one place shy of scoring points for the first time this year.

Max Buxton: “It’s been a rollercoaster weekend but to have had the opportunity to race in the end and finish all three races is a positive. It just would have been nice to go into the summer break with some points.

“I felt absolutely fine at the track on Friday but that changed when I woke up Saturday. I could barely move, was hot and cold at the same time, so it was the right decision to sit out. I ended up sleeping all the way through qualifying!

“Thankfully I felt much better on race day but I knew I had an uphill battle ahead of me, especially as I had no reference with the car, etc. We made the best of it though and managed to match our best result of the season twice.

“It’s clear we’ve got some work to do and thankfully we now have the summer break to dig down into where we need to improve. We’ll do just that and then hopefully kick on in six weeks’ time at Thruxton.”

The 2026 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship season continues after its annual summer break at Thruxton (25/26 July). 

Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport claimed another Independent victory on an otherwise character-building trip to Oulton Park in the 2026 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship last weekend (6/7 June).

Mark Blundell’s team arrived at the 2.26-mile lakeside circuit looking to build on a strong start to the 2026 campaign for its Corolla challengers and drivers Gordon Shedden and Árón Taylor-Smith, who between them claimed two overall wins, a further podium, and four Independent victories in the nine races held before the trip to Cheshire.

During Saturday’s action, that upward trend looked set to continue; both cars completed their practice programme without issue, then Taylor-Smith stormed to the fastest time during Qualifying, a blistering 1:24.213, enough to put the popular Dubliner at the front of the field for the Qualifying Race.

Taylor-Smith led from start to finish, but a penalty for weaving during a safety car restart, in violation of the regulations, dropped him back to fifth.

That was compounded by a tough race for Shedden on the other side of the garage; after a decent start around the fringes of the top ten, “Flash” was forced to retire with suspension damage, which would also consign him to the back of the grid for Sunday’s triple-header of races.

The team’s mental fortitude came to the fore in Sunday’s opener. Taylor-Smith capitalised on an action-packed start into Cascades to pass reigning champion Ash Sutton’s Ford Focus Titanium on the opening lap, and from there managed the gap to take fourth, and retain a free choice of Goodyear tyre for the next contest.

Shedden, meanwhile, put all of the experience, racecraft and nous amassed in a touring car career spanning over 20 years and three championship titles to charge up the order from the back to 12th. 

The Scot then improved yet further in Race 2, advancing into the top six and leading home team-mate Taylor-Smith, who finished the bout in 17th after a penalty for contact with Tom Chilton’s Hyundai i30 N.

Both cars were unfortunately forced to retire at the start in Race 3; Shedden through a mechanical problem, and Taylor-Smith after a spin at Old Hall caused contact with Adam Morgan's Mercedes A35 Saloon, then the barrier.

Nevertheless, heading into the BTCC’s six-week summer hiatus, Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport sit well-placed in both championship standings, with fifth overall, and third among the Independent runners, just 16 points shy of the summit. The team also extends a run of silverware to four straight events, giving a platform for further progress after the break.

The 2026 BTCC season resumes at the high-speed Thruxton Circuit, Hampshire (25/26 July).

Árón Taylor-Smith (#50) said: “Our efforts at Oulton Park definitely deserved a bit more, but we have to be encouraged by the performance we had in the car, and to keep the silverware run for Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport going - that’s four in a row now, with an Independent win to show for our efforts.

“What the team gave me over the weekend was a Corolla that was a quick over one lap - hence we were fastest in Qualifying - but also a car underneath me that we could race with, and we proved that by going from lights to flag in the Qualifying Race, before the penalty.

“Even on Sunday, the plan was working perfectly - we opted for fourth in Race 1, so we could stay on the soft tyres for Race 2, but some contact whilst going for a spot on the podium caused some damage, and from there I had to focus on managing that, and bringing the car home as high as possible.

“It’s obviously a bit frustrating - as was Race 3 - but anybody that knows me, knows I’m always looking for the positives, and I’ve already switched focus to Thruxton, and coming back after the break in as good a shape as possible."

Gordon Shedden (#52) said: “We had an issue during Qualifying, which put me further back for the Qualifying Race, and once you’re in the midfield, with the championship as close as it is, the odds are a little bit higher you might get caught up in somebody else’s accident, which we did, unfortunately.

“That’s frustrating, because we should have spent Sunday up towards the sharp end, based on the Corolla’s performance, rather than mounting a comeback, but it’s still pleasing to have been able to go from the back to the top six across Races 1 and 2, and to demonstrate that the car had good pace, particularly on the soft tyres.

“I think it’s fair to say we deserved a bit more from Oulton Park, but that’s all part and parcel of touring car racing. The important thing now is that we get our heads down, keep working hard and use the summer break to make even more progress before we get to Thruxton.”

Mark Blundell, Sporting Director, Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport said: “It’s clear our performance this weekend was another step in the right direction; we were fastest over one lap on Saturday, and led every lap in the Qualifying Race to finish first on the road.

“Some small mistakes and a bit of bad luck have cost us a chance at adding to our tally of wins and podiums so far this season, but we do have an Independent win for our efforts, and that keeps us well-placed in both championships as a result.

“But the objectives we have as a team are clear, and they’re a bit loftier than Independent wins; we want to be fighting outright at the front, as we have in previous weekends this season, and as a team in previous years, so there’s a bit of work to be done over the summer break, to make sure we head to Thruxton in better shape.”

A hard-earned trio of podium finishes saw Tom Ingram narrow the gap to the top of the title table in the 2026 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship at Oulton Park last weekend (6/7 June), sending him into the summer break in bullish mood, stating he will be ‘even stronger over the remainder of the season’.
 
Ingram headed to Oulton as the BTCC’s form driver around the popular Cheshire circuit, holding both the qualifying and race lap records there in the UK’s premier motorsport series. The reigning champion was also aware, though, that his lack of TOCA Turbo Boost (TTB) – three seconds per lap in qualifying by dint of his second place in the standings, when the majority of the field had access to 20 seconds – would significantly disadvantage him around a track noted for its undulating nature and steep climbs.
 
That being the case, eighth on the grid was a commendable effort, and the defending champion went immediately on the offensive in Saturday’s ‘Race to Pole’, gaining two spots around the outside of Old Hall Corner on the first lap before displacing Mikey Doble (LKQ Euro Car Parts with Power Maxed Racing) to advance to fifth.
 
Following a post-race penalty ahead, fifth would become fourth, which is where Ingram duly began the first of Sunday’s three full-length contests. On a cold, damp track surface, the Team VERTU star moved up to third when Ash Sutton (NAPA Racing UK) and Josh Cook (Speedworks Corolla Racing) tangled at Cascades, to come away from the bout in third.
 
Due to his strong start to the day, Ingram would have to run the hard-compound Goodyear tyres for race two, as per the regulations for the top three finishers from race one. After catching second-placed Dan Cammish (NAPA Racing UK) while simultaneously judiciously withholding his boost, his pressure paid off as he sliced up the inside into Lodge with three laps remaining to deservedly cement the runner-up spoils.
 
Back onto the softs for the day’s finale, the Coventry-based racer lined up tenth on the partially-reversed grid and picked up three places over the course of a characteristically feisty opening tour. Comfortably the quickest driver on the track, the two-time title-winner had latched onto team-mate Ricky Collard’s tail and was poised to pounce when the safety car was summoned for a second time at the mid-distance mark, but once the action resumed, the top two exploited their superior boost allocation to remain in front.
 
Third place nevertheless made Ingram the only driver in the field to reach the rostrum in all three races, and enabled him to cut his deficit to Sutton in the chase for the coveted crown from 57 points to 48, with a seven-week hiatus now before the campaign continues at high-speed Hampshire venue Thruxton (25/26 July).
 
Tom Ingram, Driver, Team VERTU, said: “After our tricky start to 2026, we needed a solid, plain-sailing, pointsy weekend at what is probably my favourite circuit on the calendar, and that’s exactly what we had. Ash [Sutton] and I shadowed each other throughout Saturday’s ‘Race to Pole’; it got slightly spicy at times, but for the first time this year, I felt that in the heat of battle, we had an edge over him. Despite not really making any changes, the car felt better in race trim than in qualifying, which left us in a good position going into Sunday.
 
“The left-hand side of the grid wasn’t the nicest place to be in race one due to the damp patches, so I was conscious the launch would be difficult but the coming-together between Josh [Cook] and Ash played in our favour. Knowing I had just two laps of TTB compared to Josh’s full deployment, I was happy to stay on the right side of risk and bank the points for third place. I had my grown-up head on with the bigger picture in mind!
 
“It was important to overtake Josh quickly at the start of race two, though. Given the big difference in performance, you can get absolutely eaten alive on the hard tyres – whoever the soft pack reaches first tends to be a bit like a lamb to the slaughter.
 
“Dan [Cammish] and I worked together to create a gap over the drivers behind, and the way they were knocking chunks out of each other certainly helped! The hard tyre worked surprisingly well, and the car felt really racy. I honestly hadn’t expected to finish second; I wasn’t even sure I’d be able to stay inside the top ten, so I was really chuffed with that.
 
“In race three, we had to try to make some serious progress in a relatively short space of time with the two safety car interruptions. The car felt fantastic back on the soft tyre – even better than in qualifying, and we actually ended up going quicker than we had in qualifying! If we can have a car like that every single time over the second half of the season, I think we’ll be in good shape.
 
“Overall, I reckon we got as much out of the weekend as we could have done, considering our TTB allocation going into it. As a team, we’ve knuckled down and worked really, really hard to overcome the setbacks we’ve faced over the opening rounds. The goal was to reduce the gap in the points table into the forties, which we achieved, and we had an incredibly fast car throughout, which is really encouraging.
 
“We’ve ended the first part of the season very strongly – three podiums around Oulton is fairly difficult to pull off, but we did it and now we can go into the summer break with a spring in our step. I think we’ll be even stronger over the remainder of the season, and I’m already looking forward to properly taking the fight to Ash at Thruxton. It’s still clearly a tall order, but if we can keep chipping away like this, it’s definitely doable.”

Seven different winners from first 12 races of 2026

Dan Cammish became the seventh different race winner so far in the 2026 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship following his triumph at Oulton Park earlier today (7 June), before standings leader Ash Sutton added to his tally and Charles Rainford claimed his second victory of the campaign.

It was the second successive BTCC weekend that boasted three different race winners from the trio of races, with more than half of the field having now reached the rostrum in the opening 12 races.

The UK’s most exciting and competitive championship showed its hand yet again in front of a huge crowd at the picturesque Cheshire venue with the title race starting to take shape ahead of the annual mid-season break.

Cammish’s win was a pivotal one for the Yorkshireman as he fired up his championship challenge with the biggest points haul over the course of the weekend.

Four-time champion Sutton dominated the second encounter, winning his fifth race of the season by more than 19 seconds from the chasing pack.

Rainford then became only the second repeat winner of 2026 after he made a stellar move for victory in the reverse grid finale.

With the season pausing slightly earlier than usual – after four of ten events – it’s Sutton leading the Drivers’ standings from Tom Ingram, who himself scored a hugely impressive podium hat-trick around the 2.26-mile circuit.

Alliance Racing/Ford and NAPA Racing UK top both the Manufacturers’/Constructors’ and Teams’ tables.

Mikey Doble and his LKQ Euro Car Parts with Power Maxed Racing outfit lead the chase for Independents’ honours, whilst a clean sweep of Jack Sears Trophy wins for Dexter Patterson pushed the Audi man to the summit of those standings.

The next event on the BTCC calendar takes place at Thruxton on 25/26 July.

Cammish claims maiden Oulton Park victory

NAPA Racing UK's Cammish took victory in the opener at Oulton Park, taking his first tin top triumph at the much-loved track.

Ford driver Cammish continued his impressive weekend – following victory in Saturday's Qualifying Race – with a lights-to-flag success in race one.

Much like the 'Race to Pole', Cammish was pressured home by Josh Cook’s Speedworks Corolla Racing Toyota with the pair duelling it out for much of the contest.

Cammish's 17th BTCC win had been a while coming after a mixed start to his 2026 campaign, but the former championship runner-up kickstarted his title chase in Cheshire.

Cook's second place wasn't straightforward as he firstly had contact with four-time champion Sutton in the #116 NAPA Racing UK Ford Focus Titanium, and in the latter stages of the race he was hounded home by the Hyundai of reigning champion Ingram.

Team VERTU's Ingram completed the podium ahead of the Toyota of Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport's Árón Taylor-Smith, with the latter also securing the Independent Drivers' win.

Sutton strikes to take fifth victory of 2026

NAPA Racing UK's Sutton stood victorious in Round 11, extending his championship lead with his fifth triumph of the season.

Running on the soft Goodyear tyre and with an increased allocation of TOCA Turbo Boost, Ford man Sutton was able to weave his way up the order from seventh on the grid, eventually slipping by old adversary Ingram (Team VERTU – Hyundai) and teammate Cammish (NAPA Racing UK – Ford).

In truth, Cammish let Sutton by, knowing that his superior pace was likely to tell as the race progressed and the latter romped on to win by more than 19 seconds.

Cammish and Ingram performed admirably on the Goodyear hard tyre, not only holding onto to second and third, but by pulling away from the chasing pack.

Ingram eventually got by the race one winner to score valuable championship points, with Cammish completing the podium positions.

The Toyota of Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport's Taylor-Smith was the cork in the bottle behind, the Irishman not being able to show the race-winning pace that he had previously.

WSR BMW's Daryl De Leon spent most of the race trying to get past, and he eventually made his move stick in the closing laps to take fourth overall and the Independents' win.

Rainford races clear to reach top step of the rostrum

WSR BMW's Rainford took victory in the finale at Oulton Park, becoming the second repeat winner of the season so far.

Restart Racing's Chris Smiley started the race on pole, but it was always going to be a tall order to hang on at the front with a gaggle of Goodyear soft tyre runners behind him.

Rainford's BMW 330i M Sport fired off the line and was quickly into second on the approach to Old Hall Corner for the first time.

There was drama behind as the Toyota of Taylor-Smith slid luridly through the first turn on cold tyres. As the Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport driver tried to correct the error he collected the #33 Mercedes of Adam Morgan – ending both of their races on the spot.

A safety car was called to retrieve the stricken #50 Toyota Corolla and Morgan's Cataclean Plato Racing machine, with Rainford poised to make his move for the lead shortly after the restart.

Rainford got a great exit from Old Hall and completed a daring move around the outside of Smiley’s Hyundai before they reached Cascades.

The Team VERTU Hyundai duo of Ricky Collard and Ingram were next by the fading Hyundai of Smiley as they looked well positioned to attack Rainford ahead of them.

There was some respite during a second safety car period when Tom Chilton (Team VERTU – Hyundai) made contact with Lewis Selby's NAPA Racing UK Ford Focus Titanium, with both cars ending up in the barrier at Cascades.

At the restart, Rainford had the measure of his pursuers and claimed his second win of the season in commanding fashion from Collard and Ingram.

NAPA Racing UK's Ash Sutton stood victorious in Round 11 of the 2026 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship at Oulton Park, extending his championship lead with his fifth triumph of the campaign.

Running on the soft Goodyear tyre and with an improved allocation of TOCA Turbo Boost, Sutton was able to weave his way up the order from seventh on the grid, eventually slipping by old adversary Tom Ingram (Team VERTU) and teammate Dan Cammish (NAPA Racing UK).

In truth, Cammish let Sutton by, knowing that his superior pace was likely to tell as the race progressed and the latter romped on to win by more than 19 seconds.

Cammish and Ingram performed admirably on the Goodyear hard tyre, not only holding onto to second and third, but by pulling away from the chasing pack.

Ingram eventually got by the race one winner to score valuable championship points with Cammish completing the podium positions.

Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport's Árón Taylor-Smith was the cork in the bottle behind, the Irishman surprisingly not being able to show the race-winning pace that he had all weekend.

WSR's Daryl De Leon spent most of the race trying to get past, and he made his move stick in the closing laps to take fourth overall and the Independents' win.

Mikey Doble (LKQ Euro Car Parts with Power Maxed Racing) and Gordon Shedden (Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport) relegated Taylor-Smith further down the order, whilst Ricky Collard (Team VERTU), Dexter Patterson and Charles Rainford (WSR) rounded out the top ten on the road.

NAPA Racing UK's Sam Osborne was later elevated to tenth when Taylor-Smith was handed a post-race ten second penalty for his involvement in an incident involving Team VERTU's Tom Chilton.

NAPA Racing UK's Dan Cammish took victory in Round 10 of the 2026 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship at Oulton Park, taking his first tin top triumph at the Cheshire venue.

Cammish continued his impressive weekend so far – following victory in yesterday's Qualifying Race – with a lights-to-flag success in Sunday's opener.

Much like the 'Race to Pole', Cammish was pressured home by Speedworks Corolla Racing's Josh Cook with the pair duelling it out for much of the contest.

Cammish's 18th BTCC win has been a long time coming after a mixed start to his 2026 campaign, but the talented Yorkshireman will be hoping that his performances around the 2.26-mile circuit will kickstart his championship challenge.

Cook's second place wasn't straightforward as he firstly had to contend with contact involving four-time champion Ash Sutton, and in the latter stages of the race he was hounded home by reigning champion Tom Ingram.

Team VERTU's Ingram completed the podium ahead of Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport's Árón Taylor-Smith, with the latter also securing the Independent Drivers' win.

The LKQ Euro Car Parts with Power Maxed Racing duo of Aiden Moffat and Mikey Doble enjoyed a fantastic and respectful battle for fifth and sixth as they brought home solid points for the Audi A3 Saloon squad.

NAPA Racing UK's Sutton had a topsy-turvy race, which included an initial battle for second, a drop to eighth following the aforementioned contact with Cook, before scrapping back up the order and then back down again after going straight on at the chicane during a battle with Cataclean Plato Racing's Adam Morgan.

Sutton eventually had to settle for a decent seventh whilst Morgan's race ended in the pitlane with a mechanical issue striking his Mercedes A35 Saloon.

Tom Chilton (Team VERTU), Chris Smiley (Restart Racing) and Daryl De Leon (WSR) completed the top ten positions.

Race 2 commences at 14:55 while the finale takes place at 17:20, with all the action being screened live across the UK on ITV4 and across the world via Racer (North America only) and YouTube.

A first Qualifying Race win for Dan Cammish at Oulton Park with Josh Cook and Ash Sutton making up the top three places of another exciting 'Race to Pole' – we spoke with all three drivers after the action...

BTCC delivers yet another dramatic Qualifying Race

NAPA Racing UK's Dan Cammish claimed his first ever Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship Qualifying Race win at Oulton Park earlier today (6 June) after inheriting the triumph from on-track leader Árón Taylor-Smith.

As per recent race weekends, the action kicked off almost immediately with Team VERTU's Tom Chilton going off at high speed on the approach to Island Bend with cars getting bunched up on the first lap, whilst contact involving James Dorlin (Restart Racing), Gordon Shedden (Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport) and Dan Rowbottom (Cataclean Plato Racing) left the latter pair in the pitlane with issues.

More was to follow on the second tour as Nic Hamilton's Team VERTU Hyundai spun off and into the barrier at Island Bend.

A lengthy safety car period followed with the critical moment of the contest taking place even before racing was back underway as long-time leader Taylor-Smith continued weaving his Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport Toyota after the safety car lights had extinguished.

This was an unfortunate but clear breach of the regulations, resulting in a five-second time penalty, ultimately handing the lead to Cammish's #27 Ford Focus Titanium.

Cammish was made to work hard for the victory, however, with Speedworks Corolla Racing's Josh Cook keeping him honest until the chequered flag.

There was another pulsating battle behind between two BTCC champions – Ash Sutton (NAPA Racing UK) and Tom Ingram (Team VERTU) – as the pair swapped paint on a number of occasions.

The duo had already disposed of Mikey Doble's LKQ Euro Car Parts with Power Maxed Racing Audi A3 Saloon before continuing their race long battle, which later included heavy contact from Ingram at the final corner on lap eight of 13.

Ingram recognised the error and immediately let Sutton back past with the title protagonists eventually finishing third and fourth in the order.

Taylor-Smith's penalty pushed him down to fifth, ahead of Doble, whilst Cataclean Plato Racing's Adam Morgan scrapped brilliantly to claim seventh.

The two Audis of Dexter Patterson (Steel Seal with Power Maxed Racing) and Aiden Moffat (LKQ Euro Car Parts with Power Maxed Racing) were eighth and ninth respectively, whilst Restart Racing's Chris Smiley drove well from 16th on the grid to finish tenth.

Rounds 10, 11 and 12 of the 2026 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship take place at Oulton Park tomorrow with the action getting underway in the UK on ITV4 from 10:45, with the races also being beamed around the world on Racer TV (North America) and the BTCC YouTube Channel (Rest of the World).

Dan Cammish, NAPA Racing UK, said: "A great way to start the weekend. The guys have given me a great car straight out of the box, I felt really confident and happy with the car. It's a real shame what happened to Árón there but I could see him weaving, so I'll take my opportunity and we get to start at the front tomorrow. It will be tough (with the lack of boost) but that's the way it is. It's the first win I've had in this new format and it's nice to get this one... let's hope we can convert it tomorrow."
