Overview

  • Jake Hill returned from a viral infection to win race one at Knockhill, capitalizing on intra-team BMW battles and a late safety car triggered by Nick Halstead’s spin.
  • Tom Ingram used soft tyres to dominate race two by over seven seconds, securing his fourth victory of the season and extending his championship lead to 15 points.
  • Hill completed his weekend double with a commanding reverse-grid victory in race three, highlighting his resurgence for Laser Tools Racing.
  • Team orders from Senna Proctor and Dan Cammish directly promoted Ingram and Ash Sutton into higher podium positions across the three races.
  • Rules forcing race-one podium finishers onto the hardest remaining tyre compounded the strategic importance of tyre management throughout the Knockhill round.
