Seven different race winners from first 12 races of 2026

Dan Cammish became the seventh different race winner so far in the 2026 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship following his triumph at Oulton Park earlier today (7 June), before standings leader Ash Sutton added to his tally and Charles Rainford claimed his second victory of the campaign.

It was the second successive BTCC weekend that boasted three different race winners from the trio of races, with more than half of the field having now reached the rostrum in the opening 12 races.

The UK’s most exciting and competitive championship showed its hand yet again in front of a huge crowd at the picturesque Cheshire venue with the title race starting to take shape ahead of the annual mid-season break.

Cammish’s win was a pivotal one for the Yorkshireman as he fired up his championship challenge with the biggest points haul over the course of the weekend.

Four-time champion Sutton dominated the second encounter, winning his fifth race of the season by more than 19 seconds from the chasing pack.

Rainford then became only the second repeat winner of 2026 after he made a stellar move for victory in the reverse grid finale.

With the season pausing slightly earlier than usual – after four of ten events – it’s Sutton leading the Drivers’ standings from Tom Ingram, who himself scored a hugely impressive podium hat-trick around the 2.26-mile circuit.

Alliance Racing/Ford and NAPA Racing UK top both the Manufacturers’/Constructors’ and Teams’ tables.

Mikey Doble and his LKQ Euro Car Parts with Power Maxed Racing outfit lead the chase for Independents’ honours, whilst a clean sweep of Jack Sears Trophy wins for Dexter Patterson pushed the Audi man to the summit of those standings.

The next event on the BTCC calendar takes place at Thruxton on 25/26 July.

Cammish claims maiden Oulton Park victory

NAPA Racing UK's Cammish took victory in the opener at Oulton Park, taking his first tin top triumph at the Cheshire venue.

Ford driver Cammish continued his impressive weekend – following victory in Saturday's Qualifying Race – with a lights-to-flag success in race one.

Much like the 'Race to Pole', Cammish was pressured home by Josh Cook’s Speedworks Corolla Racing Toyota with the pair duelling it out for much of the contest.

Cammish's 18th BTCC win had been a while coming after a mixed start to his 2026 campaign, but the former championship runner-up kickstarted his title chase in Cheshire.

Cook's second place wasn't straightforward as he firstly had to contend with contact involving four-time champion Sutton in the #116 NAPA Racing UK Ford Focus Titanium, and in the latter stages of the race he was hounded home by the Hyundai of reigning champion Ingram.

Team VERTU's Ingram completed the podium ahead of the Toyota of Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport's Árón Taylor-Smith, with the latter also securing the Independent Drivers' win.

Sutton strikes to take fifth victory of 2026

NAPA Racing UK's Sutton stood victorious in Round 11, extending his championship lead with his fifth triumph of the season.

Running on the soft Goodyear tyre and with an increased allocation of TOCA Turbo Boost, Ford man Sutton was able to weave his way up the order from seventh on the grid, eventually slipping by old adversary Ingram (Team VERTU – Hyundai) and teammate Dan Cammish (NAPA Racing UK – Ford).

In truth, Cammish let Sutton by, knowing that his superior pace was likely to tell as the race progressed and the latter romped on to win by more than 19 seconds.

Cammish and Ingram performed admirably on the Goodyear hard tyre, not only holding onto to second and third, but by pulling away from the chasing pack.

Ingram eventually got by the race one winner to score valuable championship points, with Cammish completing the podium positions.

The Toyota of Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport's Taylor-Smith was the cork in the bottle behind, the Irishman not being able to show the race-winning pace that he had previously.

WSR BMW's Daryl De Leon spent most of the race trying to get past, and he eventually made his move stick in the closing laps to take fourth overall and the Independents' win.

Rainford races clear to reach top step of the rostrum

WSR BMW's Rainford took victory in the finale at Oulton Park, becoming the second repeat winner of the season so far.

Restart Racing's Chris Smiley started the race on pole, but it was always going to be a tall order to hang on at the front with a gaggle of Goodyear soft tyre runners behind him.

Rainford's BMW 330i M Sport fired off the line and was quickly into second on the approach to Old Hall Corner for the first time.

There was drama behind as the Toyota of Taylor-Smith slid luridly through the first turn on cold tyres. As the Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport driver tried to correct the error he collected the #33 Mercedes of Adam Morgan – ending both of their races on the spot.

A safety car was called to retrieve the stricken #50 Toyota Corolla and Morgan's Cataclean Plato Racing machine, with Rainford poised to make his move for the lead shortly after the restart.

Rainford got a great exit from Old Hall and completed a daring move around the outside of Smiley’s Hyundai before they reached Cascades.

The Team VERTU Hyundai duo of Ricky Collard and Ingram were next by the fading Hyundai of Smiley as they looked poised to attack Rainford ahead of them.

There was some respite during a second safety car period when Tom Chilton (Team VERTU – Hyundai) made contact with Lewis Selby's NAPA Racing UK Ford Focus Titanium, with both cars ending up in the barrier at Cascades.

At the restart, Rainford had the measure of his pursuers and claimed his second win of the season in commanding fashion from Collard and Ingram.
