NAPA Racing UK's Ash Sutton swept to his fourth Kwik Fit British Touring Championship victory of the season as the #116 surged through from fourth on the grid to win the second contest at Oulton Park.
Being the first of the Goodyear soft tyre runners played perfectly into the four-time champion's hands, as he made light work of Restart Racing's Chris Smiley while teammate Dan Cammish let Sutton by.
Team VERTU's Tom Ingram was a much harder task with the #80 defending valiantly before Sutton took his opportunity at Island Hairpin. The Hyundai duo of Adam Morgan and Tom Chilton relegated stablemate Ingram down to fourth, but the latter then hung on brilliantly to claim fourth on the Goodyear hard tyre.
Reigning champion Jake Hill did everything he could to get by old rival Ingram, but the Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport had to settle for a solid fifth.
Dan Rowbottom (NAPA Racing UK) and Josh Cook (One Motorsport) were sixth and seventh respectively, after the unfortunate Senna Proctor (Team VERTU) dropped to eighth in the closing laps with bodywork seemingly rubbing on his front left tyre.
Gordon Shedden (TOYOTA GAZOO Racing UK with IAA) and Dan Cammish (NAPA Racing UK) rounded out the top ten with the former being rewarded by retiring ITV front man Steve Rider as he pulled out the #9 in the reverse grid draw.
Restart Racing's Dan Lloyd had a significant accident on lap three as he came over Clay Hill, dropping a wheel on the grass before his Hyundai fired into the barrier at speed. Charles Rainford was another driver in the wars as crashed following contact with one of the Toyotas.
The final race of the day – and first half of the 2025 season – commences at 17:05 and will be LIVE on ITV4.
