Butcher secured pole for the second year i🤪n-a-row at Silverstone after producing a 57.374s 🔴lap around the National configuration of the Grand Prix venue.

The Toyota Coro🤡lla driver's effort was goꦿod enough to beat BMW's Jake Hill by just 0.037s.

In typical Silverston꧂e fashion, just 0.3s covered the top-ten order, with championship leader Colin Turkington bringing up the rear of the top-ten aboard his ꦏTeam BMW 3 Series challenger.

Having the set the fastest time during the earlier FP2ꦏ session, Adam Morgan converted his prom💮ising pace with a top-three starting slot for Sunday's opening race with the third fastest time.

Like Hill in second, Hyundai driver Tom Ingram looks poised to make inroads on Turkington's slender points lead🌟 after setting th𒅌e fourth fastest time ahead of NAPA Racing UK's Dan Cammish in fifth.

Ricky Collard followed up his team mate Butcher's pole position heroics by setting the sixth fastest time aboard his Toy𝓀ota Corolla, marginally ahead of defending champion Ash Sutton in seventh position.

With the Hondas seemingly struggling to make an impression around Silverstone, three-time champion Gordon She🥂d💞den was the fastest Civic Type-R runner in eighth, while Dan Lloyd and Colin Turkington completed the top-ten grid order.
