Speedworks Motorsport's Tom Ingram topped the final BTCC free practice session at Silverstone, as the young Toyota star pipped Eurotech Racing's Jack Goff in the final minutes.
Goff led the way for the majority of the session after his own impressive effort in the striking red Honda Civic Type R, but Ingram would not be denied as he returned to the summit with the quickest time of the day – a 58.967s, which was the only time set in the 58 second bracket.
"That was really good," said Ingram. "We did the whole thing on old tyres, right until the end. We probably left that run a bit late if truth be told. We can always get more out of everything, so we’ll look through all the video and data and see where our strengths and weaknesses lie.
"We know we’ve a good car around here – the MGs, VWs and ourselves should be good aerodynamically here. There’s a lot more work to do but it’s been a good start."
TAG Racing's Jake Hill confirmed the potency of the VW CC with third place, whilst championship challenger Rob Collard hauled his BMW 125i M Sport up to fourth.
MG Racing RCIB Insurance's Josh Cook was next in the order, ahead of fans' favourite Rob Austin and 2013 champion Andrew Jordan.
FP1 pace-setter Jason Plato had to settle for ninth in the afternoon's dryer conditions, whilst Team BMW's Colin Turkington replicated his performance from this morning with tenth.
Qualifying for Round 25 of the 2017 Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship takes place at 15:15 and will be streamed live and exclusively via www.itv.com/btcc.
