Colin Turkington and Adam Morgan returned for another year of racing in both of the WSR-run BMW 330e M Sport Team BMWs in 2024. Winning one-sixth of the seasons races and taking a step on 40% of the podiums, the Northern Irishman and the Englishman certainly had some races to remember. Alongside this, the #20 and #33 enjoyed another successful season in the BTCC as the duo were a part of BMW's record breaking tenth Manufacturers/Constructors' Championship.
Brands Hatch Indy
The second event of the season provided an upturn in fortunes following a challenging curtain raiser at Donington Park. The new hybrid rules came into effect across the whole weekend and it was Colin Turkington who rose to the top, and then some.
Team BMW would lock out the front row with the #20 taking his first pole position of 2024, en route to the Goodyear Wingfoot Award, alongside Adam Morgan. The duo faced little competition off the start line, before Morgan would come together with Ronan Pearson to halt any chance of a WSR-run one-two finish.
It would be the four-time champion that had a stellar opening race winning by 6.8 seconds in a commanding victory. The success would not stop there for the Northern Irishman as he would once again go unchallenged from the front in race two, before going on to win by over three seconds.
Croft
After a less than welcome end to the opening half of the season at Oulton Park, Team BMW bounced back in style at the North Yorkshire circuit as Turkington would get his first of two successive pole positions.
This performance would once again translate into an impressive race one victory, leading every lap and setting the fastest lap. The top step of the podium would be Turkington’s 70th career BTCC triumph and his 15th at Croft, a number in which no other driver can match at any circuit in the BTCC calendar.
Knockhill
Team BMW would start the opening race of the day bumper-to-bumper as the #20 took his third pole position of the campaign with Morgan behind in third. In a similar dominance of performance Turkington would go on to claim a commanding win by 8.3 seconds.
Josh Cook would be the driver that split the BMW 330e M Sport duo as Morgan would translate his third place in qualifying to the third step of the rostrum. In doing so, the Lancashire-native would bring home his only podium of the 2024 season.
Donintgon Park GP
For the first time in 64 days across the 163-day season, Turkington would not start race one from pole position. Beaten by Cook to the top spot in qualifying, the #20 would not let that stop him from continuing his fantastic race one streak.
In a race that saw fellow four-time champion Ashley Sutton and eventual 2024 Champion Jake Hill join the #20 on the podium, the four-time champ would hold off all competition to make it three race one victories on the bounce.
Brands Hatch GP
Coming into the final event of the season, Team BMW sat four points off the summit of the Manufacturers’/Constructors’ title chase. The weekend could not have gotten off to a better start with Turkington taking his fourth pole position of 2024.
The pole position would seal the 2024 Goodyear Wingfoot Award and ensure that the #20 started on the front row of the grid throughout the entire second half of the season.
Coming home second in a BMW one-two and securing double-digit points in every race, Team BMW walked away from the latest BTCC season as the fastest qualifiers and a part of a record-breaking tenth Manufacturers’/Constructors’ Championship. The team would stand on 40% of all podiums to close out another successful campaign for the German marque.
