The stage is set and the 2025 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship finale edges ever closer. On Monday we introduced the players; today it’s time to choose their tools — the cars that will carry them into the decisive rounds at Brands Hatch.

For Tom Ingram, that means the Team VERTU Hyundai i30 N, the car that has driven him to the top of the standings. For Ash Sutton, it’s the NAPA Racing UK Ford Focus ST, the machine with which he’s chasing a record-breaking fifth BTCC crown.

Now, side by side on track, these two title-contending cars symbolise the clash that awaits as the season reaches its final level. On Friday, we look to the ultimate prize: the trophy itself.
