After a 2023 season of domination by the Alliance-run NAPA Racing Fords, Ingram and his Excelr8 Motorsport Hyundai i30 N significantly emerged on top of the only qualifying session of the season where everyone is on equal boost, for his first pole since his 2022 title-clinching weekend at Brands Hatch.
Reigning champion Ash Sutton, seeking a record-breaking fifth title, was the main rival to Ingram, and fell just 0.051 seconds short at the wheel of his Focus ST.
