Should there be a tissue shortage on the supermarket shelves of the Silverstone area this week, then the penultimate round of the British Touring Car Championship at the venue will surely be held accountable. The tears flowed at Restart Racing when Dan Lloyd scored the team’s first outright victory in the series; then they cascaded again at Alliance Racing’s NAPA squad when Sam Osborne finally broke his duck, hours after his 200th BTCC start. And that was just a day after the highly promising Daryl DeLeon had claimed his first pole position.
Around all this, Tom Ingram and Ash Sutton continued the serious business of fighting for the 2025 title. Ingram’s sixth BTCC win of the season helped him in his quest – but only a little bit. Over the weekend, he inched up his advantage over Sutton from 32 points to 33 going into the final round on the Brands Hatch Grand Prix Circuit on 4-5 October. No one else is in the hunt.
