Ingram Extends BTCC Lead as Donington Delivers Three Different Winners

Post-event penalties plus exclusions adjusted points totals heading to the Silverstone penultimate round.

Overview

  • Tom Chilton ended a 14-year pole drought in wet qualifying and converted it into a Race 1 win, leading a Hyundai 1-2 over teammate Tom Ingram with Dan Rowbottom third.
  • Dan Cammish captured Race 2 on his 200th BTCC start after a sudden downpour sent much of the lead pack into the gravel at McLeans, with the race ending behind the safety car.
  • Official Race 2 classification placed Adam Morgan second and Gordon Shedden third, while Tom Ingram finished fourth on hard tyres and Ash Sutton recovered to eighth.
  • Ingram won the reversed‑grid finale over Sutton to stretch his championship advantage to 32 points, as Rowbottom charged to third for his second podium of the day.
  • Post-event rulings included engine-change point deductions for Josh Cook (five) and Árón Taylor‑Smith plus his team (10), Mikey Doble’s disqualification from qualifying, and Chris Smiley’s disqualification from Race 2, with Alliance/Ford edging the Manufacturers’ lead by one point and Team VERTU topping the Teams’ table.
