Ash Sutton Charges From Seventh to Dominate Oulton Park Race Two

Executed on soft tyres, the victory widens his championship lead by demonstrating how tyre choice can swing BTCC race results.

Overview

  • Sutton produced a commanding win in Race 2 at Oulton Park, finishing more than 19 seconds ahead after moving from seventh on the grid to the lead.
  • He started on the soft Goodyear tyre and used an improved TOCA Turbo Boost to make early gains, passing rivals through Old Hall and Lodge before pulling clear.
  • Tom Ingram and Dan Cammish completed the podium, with Ingram taking second and Cammish third after their hard-tyre runs held off the chasing pack.
  • Daryl De Leon finished fourth and secured the top Independent classification for the weekend, marking his first Independent victory of 2026.
  • Sam Osborne was drawn to start Race 3 on reverse-grid pole and the final race was scheduled for later the day, leaving the weekend and championship to be decided in that closing event.
