Cook, Sutton and Ingram Share Thruxton Wins as Stewards' Rulings Shape Final Order

Overview

• The three Thruxton races on Sunday, July 26 produced three different winners with Josh Cook winning Race 1, Ash Sutton taking Race 2, and Tom Ingram credited with Race 3 after official classifications were applied.
• Josh Cook extended his record at Thruxton to 11 full-points victories by leading lights-to-flag in Race 1 and converting strong qualifying form into a dominant performance.
• Officials investigated Sutton’s Race 2 start and cleared him, while Tom Ingram was hit with a 10-second penalty for track limits in Race 2 and a five-second penalty for a start infringement in Race 3, moves that changed podium places and final classifications.
• Race 3 was disrupted by multiple incidents that triggered a long safety-car period and forced the race to be extended to 19 laps, and drivers’ tactical use of mandated hard tyres and limited TOCA Turbo Boost laps played a decisive role across the day.
• The weekend gave Dan Rowbottom Plato Racing’s first full-points podium, saw a large crowd at Thruxton, and left Sutton with a strengthened points lead going into Knockhill in two weeks while Ingram and others remain within striking distance.
