The 2025 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship returned after its summer break to Croft Circuit last weekend (2-3 August). A bumper crowd enjoyed a busy, packed schedule of racing - which fired up the second half of Britain's premier racing series title fight right here in Yorkshire.

The initial pace was set in qualifying, as Tom Ingram claimed pole position for race one with a spectacular lap, edging out Yorkshireman Dan Cammish by almost three‑tenths of a second. Meanwhile, championship leader Ash Sutton, who hopes to extend his title count to a record breaking fifth in 2025, could only manage 11th on the grid.
