Cammish Inherits Win After Collard Penalty - Doble seals Indy glory
Curtain falls on record-breaking BTCC season at Brands Hatch
The 2026 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship concluded at Brands Hatch (11 October), with newly crowned, record-breaking five-time champion Ash Sutton leading the celebrations.
With Sutton having secured the overall Drivers’ title at Silverstone two weeks earlier, the battle for Independents’ honours was all set to be decided at the season finale.
Mikey Doble and his LKQ Euro Car Parts with Power Maxed Racing squad prevailed in front of a packed crowd at the famous Kent circuit to win both the Independents Drivers’ and Independents Teams’ titles, while the PMR Audi stable also celebrated young Dexter Patterson’s Jack Sears Trophy success.
The three races delivered their customary drama, with outgoing champion Tom Ingram (Team VERTU – Hyundai) taking two victories before Dan Cammish (NAPA Racing UK – Ford) won a frenetic finale around the 2.43-mile Grand Prix circuit.
Sutton reached the rostrum twice to end the season with an incredible 21 podium finishes, setting yet another astonishing record for the 32-year-old.
The NAPA Racing UK Ford star signed off by lifting the famous BTCC trophy – the most coveted silverware in British motorsport – while his team also secured the Manufacturers’/Constructors’ and Teams’ titles.
Sutton and his team had further cause for jubilation after announcing a new five-year extension to his BTCC contract, signalling that the partnership could mount many more title challenges in the years ahead.
The Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship returns in 2027 for another 30-race campaign at ten of the country’s leading circuits, beginning at Donington Park on 10/11 April.
Tom Ingram wins Brands Hatch opener
Team VERTU’s Ingram won Round 28 of the 2026 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship after prevailing in a race-long battle with polesitter Aiden Moffat (LKQ Euro Car Parts with Power Maxed Racing – Audi).
The pair exchanged places several times, but Ingram’s decisive move around the outside on the approach to Paddock Hill Bend proved the race’s defining moment.
Moffat entered the finale in fine form, having followed his victory and podium at Silverstone with yesterday’s ‘Race to Pole’ win.
The Scotsman pushed hard for victory but was eventually passed by the two-time champion, before receiving a five-second penalty for track-limits infringements.
The penalty dropped Moffat off the podium, although Independents’ honours provided some consolation for the driver of the #16 Audi A3 Saloon. Josh Cook (Speedworks Corolla Racing – Toyota) and Ricky Collard (Team VERTU – Hyundai) completed the overall rostrum.
Ingram completes the double
Hyundai man Ingram claimed his second victory of the day in Round 29 of the 2026 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship at Brands Hatch, as Doble secured the Independents Trophy.
Team VERTU star Ingram led from start to finish to secure his third consecutive victory, a run that began with his win in the Silverstone finale two weeks earlier. The outgoing champion underlined both his class and his determination to reclaim the crown next season.
Cook of Speedworks Corolla Racing again finished second, confirming the same one-two result as in the day’s opening race.
Five-time BTCC champion Sutton claimed his 20th podium of the season – remarkably, his first third-place finish of the year.
Doble finished fourth to secure the Independent Drivers’ title, while also helping LKQ Euro Car Parts with Power Maxed Racing claim the Independent Teams’ crown.
Cammish inherits win after Collard penalty
NAPA Racing UK’s Cammish inherited victory in Round 30 of the 2026 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship after on-the-road winner Collard received a five-second post-race penalty for a procedural infringement at the safety car restart.
Starting third, Collard seized the lead on the opening lap before an early safety car period. A first-corner incident brought Tom Chilton’s final BTCC race to a premature end, with Team VERTU Hyundai teammate and winner of the day’s opening two races, Ingram, also retiring.
Cammish took the chequered flag in second before learning that he had secured his third victory of the campaign following Collard’s penalty. The NAPA Racing UK Ford driver had spent much of the race battling Patterson (Steel Seal with Power Maxed Racing - Audi) and teammate Sutton.
Sutton climbed to second but, while pursuing Collard for the lead, ran off the circuit at Westfields and slipped to ninth by half distance. He then charged back through the field to secure his record 21st podium in 30 races.
Polesitter Patterson completed the podium – his first ever overall rostrum – capping a breakthrough season in which the Scotsman secured his maiden championship title by winning the 2026 Jack Sears Trophy.

It’s an emotional one for everyone here at NAPA Racing UK. We’ve also just finished with a record 21 podiums for the season, along with some of the other records, so it’s going to take something to go on and do better than this.
