Team BMW's Colin Turkington produced a measured drive to secure his 62nd British Touring Car Championship race victory ahead of West Surrey Racing stable 🐬mate Jake Hill in race one at Snetterton.

The four-time champion strengthened his new found champions🃏hip lead after leading every lap from pole position ahead of the ROKiT MB Motorsport BMW of Hill.

Turkington had to contend with two safety-car periods, which neutralised the race and gave Hill two fresh opportunities to launch an attack for 𝓀the race lead.

However, on both occasions, Turkington controlled the restart to perfection with his BMW 330e M Sport s🌱eemingly switching on faster than Hill's.

In typical fashion, Turkington ꧃hit his marks on every lap, which meant Hill was unable to get close enough to put the four-time champion under any reaꦜl pressure.

Turkington eventually crossed the line just over a second ahead of Hill to secure his second BTCC race vi🌱ct๊ory of the season.

Wi💝th the BMWs once again proving to be the class of the field in the ultra-hot conditions, Hyundai's Tom Ingra🌌m was the nearest FWD challenger in third position.

The EXCELR8 Motorsport Hyundai driver held off BMW duo Adam Morgan and Stephen Jelley to secure his place on the p💞odium, albeit almost four-seconds adrift of Turkington and Hill.

Behind the top-five🃏 runners, two-time champion Jason Plato produced his equal best finish of the 2022 campaign so far i𒁃n sixth position.

Following what has been a difficult last few BTCC weekends for🍒 the BTC Racing Honda sq♔uad, Plato kept tabs with the leading group, despite his title-contending team mate Josh Cook languishing further down the pack in 20th.

The NAPA Racing UK and Team Dynamics Honda squads completed the remainder of the top-ten order, with Dan Cammish finishing in se🌌venth ahead of Dan 🌺Rowbottom, Ash Sutton and Gordon Shedden in eighth, ninth and tenth.
