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

The four-time champion strengthened his new found championship lead after😼 leading every la𒁏p 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&nꦡbsp;Hill two fresh opportunities to launch an attack for the race lea🔯d.

However, on both occasions, T༺urkington controlled the restart to perfection with his BMW 330e M Sport seemingly 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 real pressure.

Turkington event♊ually crossed the line just over a second aheꦆad of Hill to secure his second BTCC race victory of the season.

With the BMWs once again proving to be the class of the field in the ultra-hot😼 conditions, Hyundai's Tom Ingram was 🍌the nearest FWD challenger in third position.

The EXCELR8 Motorsport Hyundai driver held off BMW duo Adam Morgan and Stephen Jelley to secur🃏e his place on the podium, albeit almost four-seconds adrift of Turkington and Hill.

Behind ⛄the top-five runners, two-time champi🔴on Jason Plato produced his equal best finish of the 2022 campaign so far in sixth position.

Following what has been a difficult last few BTCC weekends for the BTC Racing Honda squad, Plato kept tabs with the leading group, despite h🐼is title-contending team mate Josh꧒ 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 seventh ahead of ꦗDan Rowbottom, Ash Sutton and Gordon Shedden in eighth, ninth and tenth.
