Ash Sutton (NAPA Racing UK) made it two wins in two to complete the opening weekend of the 2026 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship, marking his 300th race in style.

Starting from eighth on the grid thanks to drawing the No.8 ball himself for the reverse grid, Sutton had it all to do from the fourth row.

Aided by the Goodyear soft tyre and his undoubted racecraft, the four time champion made light work of the competition before slipping past long-time leader Ricky Collard to take the victory.

The victory completed an astonishing weekend that saw the BTCC's all-new cars – Mercedes A35 Saloon, Audi S3 Saloon and Ford Focus Titanium – won ALL of the four competitive races across the event around 1.98-mile circuit.

Team VERTU's Collard led away from pole position of the finale and was soon followed by the WSR duo of Charles Rainford and Daryl De Leon, as the Audi A3 Saloon of Dexter Patterson initially dropped back.

Reigning champion Tom Ingram provided some respite from a challenging day by scything his way from the back of the grid to second in his #80 Hyundai i30 N Fastback as team-mate Collard completed an impressive podium.
