Shedden Holds Off Sutton to Win Snetterton Finale
Reversed-grid tactics plus TOCA Turbo Boost reshaped the weekend leaving Sutton stronger in the title race.
Overview
- Ash Sutton recovered from 10th to win Race 1 after Tom Ingram locked up while leading, a mistake that led to Ingram’s non-finish in that opening race.
- An alternator failure sidelined Ingram in Race 2 and forced him to start Race 3 from the back of the grid.
- Gordon Shedden converted reversed-grid pole into victory in the final race by driving defensively and conserving Turbo Boost while holding off Sutton for his first win of the season.
- Tom Ingram charged from the back to finish third in the finale and Daryl De Leon moved from tenth to fourth, showing how recovery drives reshaped the weekend order.
- The Snetterton results sharpen the title battle because Sutton’s Race 1 win and second place in the finale extend his points lead while the BTCC reversed-grid rule and single-lap Turbo Boost continue to produce large swings in race-by-race momentum.
