Ingram Extends BTCC Lead as Lloyd and Osborne Seal Breakthrough Silverstone Wins

Strategy on tyres plus turbo boost alongside safety interruptions kept the title fight open into the finale.

Overview

  • Daniel Lloyd converted fourth on the grid to win the Silverstone opener, delivering Restart Racing’s first BTCC victory as the race ended behind the safety car after Nic Hamilton’s car caught fire; Hamilton escaped unaided.
  • Tom Ingram surged from seventh to win race two on soft tyres and with greater turbo boost allowance, pushing his championship advantage to 38 points before the finale.
  • Sam Osborne secured his first BTCC win from reversed‑grid pole in race three, fending off Josh Cook to the flag for a landmark victory for the Alliance-run NAPA Ford.
  • Ash Sutton charged to third in the finale to trim Ingram’s points lead, while Ingram finished fifth behind Jake Hill after late-race battles shaped the top order.
  • Safety-car periods for incidents including Tom Chilton’s contact-induced retirement and tactical choices on Goodyear compounds and TOCA Turbo Boost swung momentum across all three races.
