Tom Ingram returned to winning ways at Thruxton with a commanding drive for Team VERTU in Race 1. After taking the lead early, he held off consistent pressure from NAPA Racing UK’s Dan Cammish, who crossed the line just 1.214s behind. Josh Cook of One Motorsport rounded out the podium, setting the fastest lap of the race in the process.

Tom Ingram, Team VERTU, said: "A win and two second places, you can’t ask for much more than that. It has been a really good haul of points, but amazingly after such a good day we’ve only clawed back six points on Ash (Sutton), which seems bonkers. Fairly action packed to be honest, I’ve not been that fussed about it but it’s good to get the first win of the year."
Ash Sutton, NAPA Racing UK, said: "I would love to be able to talk you through that start in race two, but I don’t know how I did it myself. Mega to get that done and bring the car home. I was shocked myself, but then it was about ticking the boxes… lead a lap, get fastest lap and win the race. If I didn’t have the issue in the first race then we may be could have won that too, but we’ve definitely turned a corner since Brands."
Dan Rowbottom, NAPA Racing UK, said: "It was a great way to end the day. We’ve had a good points haul this weekend, I’m really pleased and we’ve just got to try and keep eeking the points out of Ash (Sutton), he’s got a bit of a head start but we’ll do our best. We’ve got a long way to go, we’re trying to show that we are here and that we mean business. I don’t care if I win this championship with one win or no wins, ultimately that’s the goal and we’ll keep pushing for it."

The British Touring Car Championship rolled into the high-speed Thruxton Circuit for another thrilling triple-header, and the weekend did not disappoint. Tom Ingram (Team VERTU) set the tone early with a composed and commanding drive in Race 1, converting his pace into victory despite late pressure from Dan Cammish and Josh Cook. The win also marked Ingram's first of the 2024 campaign after a string of second-place finishes.
Race 2 saw a sharp response from championship leader Ashley Sutton (NAPA Racing UK), who dominated from the front and showed blistering speed with the fastest lap of the race. Teammate Daniel Rowbottom backed it up with a P3 finish behind Ingram, helping NAPA strengthen its team points tally.
In Race 3, it was Rowbottom again who stole the spotlight, taking a well-earned victory after fending off relentless pressure from Ingram and teammate Dan Cammish. Sutton, finishing fifth, did enough to extend his lead in the drivers' standings, while Senna Proctor and Aron Taylor-Smith brought home solid top-10 results for their respective teams.
The weekend also saw a mix of drama and disappointment—Jake Hill struggled for pace after Race 1, and Chris Smiley was disqualified in Race 3, while consistent performances from drivers like Daryl DeLeon and Daniel Lloyd helped keep their teams in the hunt.
As the dust settles, Sutton maintains the top spot in the standings, but with Ingram’s consistent form and Rowbottom's resurgence, the title fight is heating up fast heading into the next round.
