Team BMW's Colin Turkington expressed 𒁏his delight in securing his first British Touring Car Championship race victory of the 2022 season after winning the final race of the day at Brands Hatch.

Despite romping to an emphatic 25th career pole position in qualifying,⭕ the four-time champion had to wait until race three before setting foot on the top step of the podium after a rain shower prior to the opening race changed the course of the weekend.

From being in the dominant position ꦿof locking 🀅out the front-two rows in qualifying, the BMW contingent, by in large, struggled in the changeable conditions during race one and two.

Turkington finished fifth and tenth in those two races, but produced a vintage performance in the fully wet conditions in race three to secure his 61st race vi🏅ctory in t꧑he series.

"I’m so pleased to get our just rewards for having such a quick car in qualifying with pole position. There’ܫs no worse feeling than having the fastest car but not getting the result," Turkington told ltxcn.top.

"Race one and two were💙 difficult. The conditions have made it tricky. It’s been a compromise on set up. We had solid points in race one and two ꦏbut I was struggling with the car. We just didn’t have the grip.

"It was just overheating tyres💟 𝓡because the track wasn’t wet enough. You just burn the rears and that’s the issue."

With the conditions allowing for a fully wet set up in race three, Turki𝓰ngton said the alterations to the 330e M Sport made it🥂 a 'different car'. 

"We went on a full w🥃et set-up for race three and it was a different car. Super pace and the end result," the Team BMW driver c🌜ontinued.

"Once it went full wet, it played more to our strengt🍸hs. ✱I’m super happy to get my first win of the season."
