Brookes Snatches Rain-Hit BSB Oulton Park Opener as DeLeon Takes BTCC Brands Hatch Pole

Tyre gambles in shifting weather reshaped both paddocks, with intermediates delivering BSB victory and a record lap sealing BTCC pole.

Overview

  • Josh Brookes won the British Superbikes Race One at Oulton Park on intermediate tyres, passing Leon Haslam on the final lap for DAO Racing’s first victory since 2023.
  • Starting 13th, Haslam also chose intermediates and led most of the restarted race before finishing second, having topped Friday’s Pre‑Qualifying and Saturday’s FP3.
  • Kyle Ryde was the top rider on full wets in third, extending his Showdown lead past 400 points to a reported 411 and growing his cushion over Bradley Ray.
  • Charlie Nesbitt secured pole in mixed qualifying for MasterMac Honda ahead of Fraser Rogers and Storm Stacey after weather disruptions and a red-flagged Friday PQ.
  • At the BTCC finale at Brands Hatch, WSR’s Daryl DeLeon claimed a second successive pole with a lap-record 1:28.930, as Tom Ingram qualified seventh and Ash Sutton failed to reach the Quick Six.
