Team Dynamics Honda driver Gordon Shedden has 🅰opened his 2022 British Touring Car Championship victory account after beating Tom In🌊gram to the race two win at Donington Park.

The thr💝ee-time champion emerged from the opening lap in the position he started from in third after falling behind the fast-starting BMW of George Gamble, but regained a place at the expense of Colin Turkington, who stalled his ℱ330e M Sport from second on the grid.

With the BTCC rookie Gamble finding himself in unc൩harted position in second, it didn't take long for Shedden to pressure the newcomer into a mistake at the end of lap three before swiftly moving past the Car Gods BMW 3 Series into second position.

Shedden then set about hunting down the race leading Hyundai i30N of Tom Ingram, who as virtue of winning race one, had less Hybrid pow♚er to use than the Team Dꦿynamics Honda.

The Team Dynamics driver eventually pounced and took the lead of the ꦉrace on lap 10, but Ingram maintained the p𝓡ressure on Shedden right until the very end of the race.

Ingram appeared to save what little Hybrid power he had to launch one final attack on Shedden's lead on the last lap of the race. The EXCLE﷽R8 Motorsport driver came close, but Shedden held his nerve to record his first victory of the year.

George Gamble's impressive debut weekend continues to go from strength to strength after leading home꧂ his Car Gods BMW team mate Ad🀅am Morgan in third and fourth, recording a magnificent debut rostrum finish in the process.

Rich Racing BTC Honda's Josh Cook continued his recovery from a difficult qualifying by finishing in fifth position ahea🍎d of defending champion Ash Sutton, who fell slightly further down the order to sixth.

Te✱am HARD's Bob𓆉by Thompson posted a strong drive to score a seventh-place finish, beating EXCELR8 Hyundai's Dan Lloyd by just 0.1s across the line.

Having suffered the heartache of being excluded from race one after faili⛦ng the obligatory ride-height check, Jake Hill fought valiantly from the very back to finish in ninth.

The ROKiT MB Motorsport driver's efforts were further rewarded af🧸ter his finishing position was pic☂ked in the reverse grid draw, meaning Hill will start race three from pole position.

Toyota Gazoo Racing UK's Rory Butcher completed the top-ten in tenth, while Team BMW's Turkington reco🦩vered from his start-line stall to finish in 14th behind Jason Plato in 13th.
