NAPA Racing UK's Ash Sutton took victory in Round 4 of the 2026 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship at Brands Hatch, notching up an incredible 50th career triumph in just 301 starts.

Calm and collected from pole position, Sutton initially kept the rest at bay while Adam Morgan's Cataclean Plato Racing Mercedes slid off at Paddock Hill Bend amidst slippery conditions.

WSR's Daryl De Leon had also been jumped by the Team VERTU pairing of Ricky Collard and Tom Ingram, as well as NAPA Racing UK's Dan Cammish, in the early exchanges before a safety car intervention.

A nip and tuck battle between the lead four ensued at the restart with Collard attacking Sutton before eventually passing the four-time champion on lap 12. Sutton would not be denied, however, as he returned the favour one lap later in what proved to be a top class and respectful scrap for the win.

Ingram and Cammish were having a similar tussle as they swapped positions for third on a few occasions before the #80 Hyundai made his move stick later in the contest.

Cammish had to settle for fourth ahead of the charging duo of Team VERTU's Tom Chilton and NAPA Racing UK's Sam Osborne, whilst a seventh placed finish for Mikey Doble helped him to the Independents' victory.

With Fords and Hyundais filling the top six places, the LKQ Euro Car Parts with Power Maxed Racing Audi of Doble had to make do with 'best of the rest' on this occasion.

Restart Racing's Chris Smiley and the WSR pairing of Charles Rainford and De Leon completed the top ten positions.

There was time for one more incident of note late on when the NAPA-backed Ford Focus Titanium of Lewis Selby got into the side of LKQ Euro Car Parts with Power Maxed Racing's Aiden Moffat, sending the Audi into the barrier on the exit of Druids.
