NAPA Racing UK's Sam Osborne has taken a hugely popular victory in the final reverse grid Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship race at Silverstone.

Starting from pole position – having recently completed his 200th BTCC race at Donington Park – Osborne had to contend with race-long pressure from behind as a gaggle of experienced winners filled his wing mirrors.

The main contender was the #66 Toyota Corolla of Josh Cook as he searched left and right to find a way past. In the end, it was Cook's TOYOTA GAZOO Racing UK with IAA car dramatically locking up at almost every turn as Osborne's Ford Focus covered off every attempt.

As Osborne exited the complex for the final time there were emotional scenes in the car and on the pitwall as the Yorkshireman blasted his machine past the chequered flag amidst jubilant cheers around the famous circuit.

Cook held a comfortable second ahead of title contender Ash Sutton, as the NAPA Racing UK man clawed back some points on standings leader Tom Ingram.

Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport's Jake Hill was fourth, ahead of Team VERTU's Ingram, who relegated LKQ Euro Car Parts Racing with WSR's Aiden Moffat down to sixth on the final lap.

The Team VERTU duo of Adam Morgan and Tom Chilton were seventh and eighth respectively, whilst Dan Cammish (NAPA Racing UK) and Mikey Doble (Motor Parts Direct with Power Maxed Racing) completed the top ten positions, the latter boosting his chances of Independent Drivers' glory with three races of the season remaining.

At the top of the order, Ingram leaves Silverstone with a 33 point advantage over Sutton in the overall Drivers' standings, with 67 still available at the Brands Hatch season finale.
