Tom Ingram Seals 2025 BTCC Title With Brands Hatch Race 2 Victory

Season-long qualifying strength plus savvy tyre‑turbo management delivered a record points haul.

Overview

  • Starting fifth on soft tyres, Ingram passed team‑mate Tom Chilton early and controlled two safety‑car restarts to win Race 2 and clinch the championship with one race remaining.
  • Dan Cammish won the opener after polesitter Daryl DeLeon retired on the formation lap with a power loss, as Ingram’s fifth place stretched his lead over Ash Sutton to 37 points.
  • Josh Cook claimed the reversed‑grid finale after an all‑day fightback from the back of the field, beating Sutton to the flag as Jake Hill took third in his farewell BTCC outing.
  • Race‑day incidents shaped outcomes, including Rainford’s clash with Aron Taylor‑Smith, Taylor‑Smith’s later contact with Cook, and Chilton’s alternator failure while running up front.
  • Ingram’s title caps a campaign featuring two poles, seven wins and 11 additional podiums, plus the Goodyear Wingfoot Award for best season‑long qualifying performance.
