Description

Championship leader Ash Sutton had to fight back from third after slipping back off the line in the opening BTCC race at Donington Park, but the NAPA Racing UK driver soon stormed by his rivals for a comfortable victory.
Jake Hill (Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport) was the star of the show as he gradually made his way up to fifth, before the #24 BMW 330e M Sport really came alive in the second half of the contest.
Hill sliced by Team BMW stablemate Colin Turkington for fourth and then took the the final podium place away from the courageous Collard.
Second seemed an impossible task, but Hill gradually reeled in Ingram and a monumental battle took place on the final corner. The pair touched and ran side-by-side to the chequered flag, but Ingram held on by just 0.049s.
These positions were reversed post-race, however, after Ingram was adjudged to have been too aggressive in his defence.
