ROK🌠iT MB Motorsport BMW✃'s Jake Hill romped to a convincing British Touring Car Championship pole position after comfortably setting the fastest time in qualifying at Knockhill.

The BMW 330e M Sp𝓰ort driver looked the driver to beat from the very word go of the 30-minute qualifying shootoutꦺ after an early 50.8s effort left him poised to clinch pole.

Having become the first driver🔯 to break the 51-second barrier this weekend, Hill gradually chipped away at his initial benchmark, before settling for an eventual 50.726s lಞap around the infamous Scottish venue.

A brief red-flag towards the end of the session reset the clock to five-minutes, which gave the rest of the field one last chance to derail Hill's afternoon, but the BMW driver's lap proved too hard t🌼o beat.

Defending three-time champion Ash Sutton came closest to spoiling Hill's party in second position. At one point, Sutton drew to within꧑ 0.076s of Hill's pole-position time.

However, as Hill extended his advantage, Sut🐓ton, who suffered a brief off in the dying moments of the session, was unable to match the BMW's rate of pꦗrogression.

Nevertheless, during a session which was dominated by RWD machinery, Sutton puts his NꦚAPA Racing UK Ford Focus on the front-row, amidst a near top-six BMW lockout.

Team BMW's Colin Turkington typically produced a lap when it counted the most to snatch a spot on the ཧinside of the second-row in third ahea🌃d of Car Gods Racing's Adam Morgan in fourth.

Stephen Jelley very briefly moved ahead🀅 of his four-time champion team mate T🔯urkington during the final minutes of the session, but fell back down to fifth ahead of George Gamble in sixth.

As virtue of a dominant display from the BMW contingent, Toyota G🍬a♊zoo Racing UK's Rory Butcher was next best placed FWD runner in seventh position, ahead of championship leader Tom Ingram in eighth.

Local hero Aiden Moffat and NAPA Racing UK's Dan Cammish completed t💞he remainder of the top-t♈en in ninth and tenth.
