Ingram Strengthens BTCC Lead as Silverstone Delivers Three Different Winners

Restart Racing seals the Independent Teams’ crown, leaving Ingram 33 points clear for Brands Hatch.

Overview

  • Tom Ingram won race two on soft tyres and greater Turbo Boost to cap a seventh-to-first charge, then took fifth in the finale to carry a 33-point advantage over Ash Sutton into the season closer.
  • Sam Osborne converted reversed‑grid pole into a maiden BTCC victory in race three by resisting Josh Cook, with Sutton finishing third to trim his deficit.
  • Daniel Lloyd captured the opener for his first win in 1,078 days and Restart Racing’s first BTCC triumph before a safety car ended the race after Nic Hamilton’s car caught fire; Hamilton exited unaided.
  • Tyre strategy and TOCA Turbo Boost proved decisive across the weekend, including Lloyd’s 12 boost laps versus Jake Hill’s nine in race one and Ingram being the sole soft‑tyre runner in the race‑two top 10.
  • Alliance Racing/Ford leads the Manufacturers’/Constructors’ standings by two points over EXCELR8/Hyundai, and NAPA Racing UK tops Team VERTU by three in the Teams’ table as Brands Hatch awaits.
