Jason Plato headed an Adrian Flux Subaru Racing one-two in the opening Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship free practice session at Silverstone as he edged out young gun Ash Sutton.

Plato, nearing a remarkable century of BTCC victories, has been in much better form during the second half of the 2017 season, and the Oxfordshire-based racer looks to be a front-runner at his local circuit.

"It's just slippy out there," said the BTCC's most experienced driver. "Through the last two or three laps the track was starting to evolve. There's a little more grip at Becketts and Copse but the track temperature's still down. We're going to struggle tomorrow we think. It is what it is. We make our lap time up through the bends but we will struggle during the races.

"We're having fun though. We've got all of our sponsors here tomorrow and we'll try to put on a show. Silverstone's the home of British motorsport and it produces a great atmosphere and what will be three interesting races I'm sure."

Sutton kept his consistent run going with another solid showing as he looks to maintain his championship lead this weekend, taking his advantage to the finale at Brands Hatch in two weeks time.

Arguably the star of the show was Team HARD-run Michael Epps, who led the way for much of the session in his Volkswagen CC. Epps – in his sophomore season – eventually had to settle for third when the chequered flag fell, but it was an impressive performance on a damp National Circuit.

Senna Proctor (Vauxhall Astra) and Brett Smith (Honda Civic) completed a rather surprising top five line-up as all 32-drivers acclimatised to the circuit and tricky conditions.

Two more familiar faces – in the shape of Rob Collard and Matt Neal – were next in the order, whilst Jack Goff confirmed a good showing for Eurotech Racing by taking eighth.

James Cole's recent run of good results culminated in a pole position and maiden race win last time out at Rockingham, and the Southport man hauled his Subaru to ninth in the early showing here at Silverstone. 

Championship contender Colin Turkington completed the top ten order in his Team BMW 125i M Sport.

As previously noted in Round 24 of the 2017 Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship at Rockingham, Josh Cook was fined £500 and received three penalty points for an incident involving Stephen Jelley. This was his fourth strike which constituted a one race ban. MG Racing RCIB Insurance appealed the decision, and the hearing took place at Silverstone today (15 September).

The clerk's original decision was upheld by the stewards in today's hearing, however, MG Racing RCIB Insurance has appealed that decision to the National Court.

Power Maxed Racing has today (11 September) confirmed that Rob Huff will make a one-off return to the Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship at Silverstone this weekend (16/17 September), driving a manufacturer-backed Vauxhall Astra.

The 2012 WTCC Drivers’ champion has only ever contested one full season of his home championship, back in 2004, winning two races in his debut campaign with SEAT Sport UK.

The Cambridge-based driver is filling in for regular racer Tom Chilton at PMR, with the latter recovering from a medical operation, although he is due back behind the wheel at the Brands Hatch season finale.

“It’s great to be back in the BTCC, my home championship, and to race in a factory team with Power Maxed Racing,” said Huff.

"I’ve no real expectations this weekend, I’ve never driven the car or even an NGTC before, but I’ve driven TC1, S2000, Chinese, GT, TCR and all sorts just this year alone, so hopefully I’ll be able to get the hang of it quickly and score some good results for the team.

“Although I'm battling with Tom for the independents' title in the WTCC, where we're currently jointly in the lead, we're good mates away from the track and he wanted someone behind the wheel this weekend who he could trust to do a good job now that the car is starting to come on strong. I also hope Tom gets well soon so he can be back behind the wheel for Brands Hatch, then I’ll see him a few weeks later so we can race together again in the WTCC.

"I’ve been looking for the opportunity to race in the BTCC for a while. I’ll aim to make the most of it and look forward to racing a touring car in front of my home fans for the first time in six years, and hopefully enjoying some British sunshine at the same time."

The 2017 Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship is speeding towards its conclusion with an all-important outing at Silverstone this weekend (16-17 September) and there has been another shift in power atop the standings.

Adrian Flux Subaru Racing's Ash Sutton tops the winners' chart this season with a superb sixth victory taken last time out at Rockingham two weeks ago, and that was enough to propel him into pole position – heading the title tilt from Team BMW's double champion Colin Turkington, whom he leapfrogged during Rounds 22, 23 and 24. Twelve points separate the pair – a drop in the ocean with more than 130 still for the taking.

Though that duo lead the charge, five more are still in mathematical contention for the biggest prize in British motor sport. Third on the list is reigning champion Gordon Shedden, who saw his title ambitions take a dent with a 30th-placed finish and a did-not-finish at Rockingham, meaning he took just four points all weekend in Corby. That said, the Honda man is used to a fightback and in each of the last two seasons, he's overcome a points deficit to take the BTCC trophy in race 30 of 30 – the final bout. He will know better than anybody that there's time for everything to change between now and then.

Silverstone has played host to many a pivotal moment in motor racing history down the years and the Northamptonshire venue may well play a key role in deciding just where the crown will be heading come the end of the season.

A full complement of 32 of the best tin-top racers around will once again take to the grid for Rounds 25, 26 and 27 of the campaign at the home of British motor sport. It's always a popular locale on the calendar, and all of the action will no doubt unfold in front of the packed grandstands and spectator banks that skirt the famous circuit.

Six of the best for Sutton
In just his second full campaign in Britain's premier series, Adrian Flux Subaru Racing's Ash Sutton has displayed many of the qualities that make champions. With six rounds left to race, he's leading the way in the standings and looking to follow up a Jack Sears Trophy victory in 2016 with the coveted overall Drivers' crown in 2017.

His credentials this season were underlined as early as Donington Park with a pair of podium finishes. With the Levorg finding its feet in his control, it didn't take long for Sutton to seal a first win of the season for the Japanese machine at the site of its maiden victory in the BTCC – Oulton Park.

The Essex racer thereafter ramped up his championship challenge, following up with victories at Croft, a stunning win-double at Snetterton, another one at Knockhill and a sixth last time around at Rockingham. Paired with a second-placed finish in the opening round there two weeks ago, and fifth in the finale, it was enough to propel him to the top of the charts – beyond previous leader, and two-time champ Colin Turkington.

No driver has taken to the top step of the rostrum on more occasions this season than Sutton, with Turkington and Gordon Shedden, second and third in the Drivers' standings respectively making three trips apiece to the winners' circle.

"I got a sniff of what it is like to be championship leader after race two at Snetterton but that soon changed – it wasn't for long," said Sutton. "I was very pleased to come away from the last one as the championship leader.

"The plan was to get there but to have a 12-point margin back to Colin (Turkington) in second is even better. I just need to keep going, and stay focussed. 

"As long as we can match or better Colin's performance on track then it is definitely game on. I have a few personal tricks left up my sleeve for the remaining rounds of the season so roll on Silverstone!"

Taking note
Power Maxed Racing's Senna Proctor has enjoyed a fine start to his BTCC career. Driving the new-to-the-championship Vauxhall Astra, he's made his mark on the Jack Sears Trophy for rookies and could be all-set to seal the honours this weekend at Silverstone, such is his gap to second-placed Ant Whorton-Eales.

Team BMW, meanwhile, tops the Teams' tally, with BMW/West Surrey Racing heading the Manfacturers'/Constructors' standings. The former has a solid margin over Adrian Flux Subaru Racing in a bid to hold onto the crown taken by the team's predecessor – Team JCT600 with GardX – while BMW/WSR is hoping to maintain its more slender 41-point gap to Honda/Team Dynamics.

BTC Norlin Racing is an outfit in fine fettle. The fledgling operation notched another trio of top-ten finishes last time out at Rockingham, matching its sterling efforts north of the border on 'home soil' for Dave Newsham at Knockhill prior. In Northamptonshire a fortnight ago, though, it was Chris Smiley that caught the eye – ninth and tenth for the Northern Irishman.

Power Maxed Racing has today (8 September) announced that Tom Chilton will be unable to race on medical grounds at Silverstone next weekend (16-17 September).

Chilton will return for Brands Hatch after undergoing a routine operation, from which he has returned fit and well, but he has not been medically signed-off in time for next weekend's action and will sit out Rounds 25, 26 and 27 as he continues his recovery.

"It’s such a shame to miss the next races, but I have to follow the doctor’s orders," said Chilton. "I’m gutted to miss Silverstone particularly as it’s one of my favourite tracks, but I will be back for Brands."

There will be an announcement in the coming days from PMR disclosing who will fill the seat vacated by the Surrey racer. The outfit will be running its usual complement of two Vauxhall Astras at the Northamptonshire venue in just over a week's time.

Speedworks Motorsport's Tom Ingram took maiden weekend Dunlop #ForeverForward honours at Rockingham, as he produced a stunning drive from back of the pack to ninth in race two, gaining a staggering 23 positions.

That total was the joint-highest seen in a single race, matching Colin Turkington's fightback in race two at the Brands Hatch Indy season opener.

Ingram had a battle on his hands after brake failure struck on the warm up lap of race one. The Toyota man had shown front-running pace through Saturday, topping both Free Practice sessions, and despite this setback, he managed to showcase that pace once again through Sunday.

Reigning champion Gordon Shedden saw his championship challenge take a knock as contact with Rob Austin's Toyota saw him out of race one and on the back foot. The second bout was no better for the Scot – the Halfords Yuasa Racing Honda Civic Type R forced into retirement once again. This left him to salvage what he could in the finale – making the points with a determined drive to 12th from 31st on the grid. His 19 spots gained yielded second in the #ForeverForward running.

Retirement in race two for team-mate Matt Neal saw him recover 16 places to also make the points with 13th – 18 positions to the good f0r the weekend saw him third in Dunlop's tally.

Matt Neal remains top of the overall standings with 119 points. Dave Newsham holds second with 100 points and Martin Depper third with 99 points.

#ForeverForward – Rockingham:

1) Tom Ingram 24
2) Gordon Shedden 19
3) Matt Neal 18

#ForeverForward – Overall Standings:

Adam Morgan put a torrid recent run behind him at Rockingham last weekend (26/27 September), as the Ciceley Motorsport driver enjoyed a return to the BTCC rostrum for the first time in more than four months.

A brace of podiums and eight top ten finishes from the opening nine rounds of the campaign saw Morgan placed fifth in the overall standings and second in the Independents’ battle leaving Thruxton. Since then, though, the Mercedes man has found himself routinely out-of-luck, failing to score nine times out of 12 and managing a best finish of just eighth position, sending him tumbling down the points table.

Rockingham, however, marked a welcome turning-point for the 28-year-old, who converted sixth in qualifying into eighth in race one and sixth in race two, withstanding a sustained, dual-pronged attack in the closing stages from the BMWs of Andrew Jordan and Rob Collard.

Rewarded for his staunch defence with a front row berth for the reversed grid finale, Morgan made a good start and proceeded to keep leader Andrew Jordan honest throughout. He was eyeing a late move until the appearance of the safety car for Collard’s beached BMW blunted his charge and obliged him to settle for the runner-up spoils – and a third Independents’ win of the campaign.

“The tyres went away behind the safety car and I struggled for grip at the re-start,” explained the Lancastrian. “I had Jason Plato all over me, but I was able to hang on and keep second place.

“Our season starts here! I honestly believe that this is the speed we have had all year, but we have just had this really bad run of poor luck. Our pace has always been good enough to put us in the top ten in the races and now, we have proved again what this car can do. With the reliability sorted, we should be able to fight for more podiums before the end of the campaign.”

“A run of disappointing results can knock the confidence of the whole team, but Adam turned it around at Rockingham and reminded everyone just what he is capable of,” added Ciceley Motorsport Commercial Director, Norman Burgess. “The BTCC is a tough championship and you have to get everything just right, but we proved that we are fighters and Adam did a great job in taking second place.

“With a bit more luck, we would have been higher up in the championship, but Adam isn’t here to make up the numbers and will be after podiums next time out at Silverstone.”

Morgan sits just a single point outside the top ten in 11th in the overall championship classification and fourth in the Independents’ Trophy, with Ciceley Motorsport respectively eighth and fifth.

Adrian Flux Subaru Racing star Ash Sutton has moved to the summit of the 2017 Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship after surging to his sixth race win of the season.

It was also a memorable day for Sutton’s Subaru team-mate James Cole, as he claimed a hugely impressive maiden BTCC victory, whilst BMW Pirtek Racing’s Andrew Jordan returned to winning ways with a lights-to-flag success in the final contest.

Team BMW’s Colin Turkington took a trio of top six finishes to keep up the pressure on new standings leader Sutton, but fellow title protagonists Gordon Shedden and Rob Collard both endured a fairly miserable afternoon. 

It was Cole who kicked off proceedings in style at Rockingham, as the 29-year-old converted his first ever BTCC pole position into a commanding victory in the opener. 

Fellow front row starter Jack Goff kept Cole honest in the early running, although the Eurotech Racing Honda was rarely close enough to make a significant move.

Cole gradually began to pull away from the chasing pack as Goff fell into the clutches of Sutton’s Subaru Levorg. Sutton’s moment would come on the final lap as he made a move stick at Tarzan corner to give Adrian Flux Subaru Racing an impressive one-two finish.

Young gun Sutton then extended his lead at the top of the table with his sixth race win of the season. 

The 23-year-old cruised around the outside of team-mate Cole to take the lead at the beginning of the second bout, and he would go on to take a relatively comfortable victory, whilst race one winner Cole was shuffled down the order.

Team Shredded Wheat Racing with Duo’s Mat Jackson and Team BMW’s Turkington would go on to have a frenetic battle for second with the former edging the duel by the smallest of margins as the chequered flag fell.

Jordan then claimed glory in the finale, heading the pack from beginning to end, after firing his BMW 125i M Sport off the line and into a solid lead. 

Ciceley Motorsport’s Adam Morgan made a number of attempts to get past in the early running, but Jordan pegged the gap and made a good getaway during a late safety car period, before going on to take the honours by 1.724s.

Morgan’s Mercedes maintained second until the finish, although the fight for the final podium position proved more contentious.

Title hopeful Collard hauled his BMW alongside Goff’s Civic Type R late on but unfortunate contact followed and the former was fired out of the race. Goff continued but he had lost the podium place to Subaru’s Jason Plato during the melee.

When the dust settled on a dramatic day of racing it was Adrian Flux Subaru Racing’s Sutton sitting atop the standings by 12 points over Turkington, whilst reigning champion Shedden slipped 55 points behind having only tallied four at the Northamptonshire circuit.

WSR/BMW and Team BMW still top the Manufacturers’ and Teams’ standings, whilst Tom Ingram heads the Independent Drivers’ order and Team Shredded Wheat Racing with Duo lead the Independent Teams’ running.

The hugely impressive Senna Proctor claimed another Jack Sears Trophy success as the Power Maxed Racing driver maintains his firm grip on the overall rookie honours.

Ash Sutton said: "Luckily, we had the gap from the start of race two. We were told we could race. I just did my normal living on the edge around the outside stuff. It worked that time. There were no pre-discussions. The aim was to come here and try and pinch the lead away from Colin (Turkington) but to come away 12 points better off is just magic. I wasn’t expecting anything in the reverse grid race. It was a bit lively and I was bouncing across the grass and all sorts at times. I settled behind Colin and I was satisfied with that but he gave me the opportunity and I don’t hang around, so I took it. It was one of those where you dig deep. t’s helped having Shedden and Collard having a bad weekend. It’s just about maintaining and being around Colin now. If I can better him, then it’s a bonus, but all I have to do is match him. Our performance carrying the weight is so good at the moment. When we were having a bad time of it at the start of the season, we found stuff in the car that maybe we wouldn’t have otherwise. The car’s phenomenal, it’s unreal. We’ve been fine tuning it and that’s where we’ve found our performance."

Colin Turkington said: "You’re fighting instinct is to pass the next guy and get the bigger trophy but it’s about risk management at this stage of the season. I was really surprised again with the pace of the BMW on the hard tyre, Mat (Jackson) was some way up the road but we were so strong at the end. I wasn’t expecting a podium but we’ll take that. I was sandwiched between James (Cole) and Jason (Plato) and it would have been easy to have been moved aside. I had to be patient and protect my line. I could see where James was struggling and as soon as he made the slip, I pounced. It’s been a positive weekend, really positive in terms of points scored. It was tough from the beginning and only got harder though throughout the day. I was a little disappointed with our pace in the third race. I just didn’t have the car I could move forward with. That said, a podium in race two was unexpected and it was good work. I have to go home smiling though given how it went for some of the other championship challengers. We just don’t quite have the pace at the moment, even when we were running less ballast than some of the others. It was the same at Knockhill. We could see them, but we couldn’t get to them. It’s frustrating but that’s where it is at the moment. We’re just going to try and keep working hard and maximising the BMW. We’re giving it everything and it’ll take a little bit of thought from here on in. We can’t just keep scoring points. I have to reduce our deficit at some point. We will work together as a team to close the gap – that can work wonders."

James Cole said: "I don’t want to say I’m speechless again, but I am. The race win couldn’t have gone any more perfectly. I knew the front-wheel drives would be quick at the start. It was about getting away well and holding them off until they started to struggle. I knew the temperatures would suit us towards the end of the race, but at the start Jack (Goff) just wouldn’t go away. You can feel the tyres – it’s super abrasive at Rockingham and we’re not as quick at the beginning here, but we can manage it better towards the end. If it’s a win, Ash (Sutton) can bugger off, but anything else, then fair enough and I'll move over for him."

Andrew Jordan said: "You never give up. From 18^th yesterday you’d never have thought you could sneak a win out of it. My attitude’s been to do my best and see what I can go and do. What a cracking job the BMW Pirtek Racing guys have done. They’ve had a tough couple of meetings this side of the garage so this result is for them. I knew they’d be really racy behind me early on. I was driving in my mirrors for a bit. I knew eventually that Adam (Morgan) would take the edge off his front tyres and we could pull out a bit of a gap. I thought back to Snetterton once I was out there though and it’s never in the bag, but once I got a gap I knew for the restart if I could do the same, it’d be job done."
