Description

Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport’s Jake Hill made a late call on the grid to switch to Goodyear wet tyres, as he left his fellow contenders in his wake to win the opening BTCC race at Silverstone.
Drizzly conditions led to a chaotic pre-grid as teams and drivers had a critical call to make, with the vast majority of the top ten choosing to stick with slick rubber.
The tide turned – quite literally – just a few minutes before the three-minute board was shown as the rain began to get heavier, suggesting that Hill and co had made the right decision.
Hill won from NAPA Racing UK’s Dan Rowbottom, with the latter finally getting the better of CarStore Power Maxed Racing’s Andrew Watson in the closing stages.
